Why would anybody be paying corporate subscriptions? If it is for the chamber of commerce, maybe it is reasonable enough. Who is getting their third-level fees paid? The relevant figure is €47,000. The figure for training - €270,000 - is still huge. Are we employing untrained people to the extent that such a significant amount of the budget needs to go into training? I suggest that €80,000 seems a lot for office security. I have made a couple of points on that. It would be useful to know which firm the audit and professional fees of €130,000 were paid to.
