Thank you. My point is that €905,000 has come in from the public in different forms of charity, of which 28% was paid out in top-up payments. That has done phenomenal damage to every charity the length and breadth of the country. We all stand for local charities in our communities and we all work with them. It is absolutely frightening that 28% of the money that came in is going back out in top-ups to salaries.
