I want to go to the accounts on page 33 and I will also deal with pages 34 and 35. On page 33, there is a heading on note 2 regarding net operating surplus. Regularly at the Committee of Public Accounts people give out about the level of expenses of board members and senior executives, and it makes great headlines, but I want to say, and I suspect it will not be reported, that on page 33, which deals with the CEO's travel and subsistence, it states that during 2016, €147 travel and subsistence was reimbursed to the CEO. That is extraordinarily low. If that is the extent of it, it is an exemplar. If it was €14,700 it would be in the newspapers tomorrow. It is remarkably low.
