I welcome the witnesses and thank them for all of the documents. They have been very helpful. I want to come back later to the audit that has been stopped because I have still not gotten my head around it. First, I have practical questions on the accounts. In Mr. Connaghan's opening statement, on page 2, it says that the majority of the deficit, €73 million, is attributable to income shortfalls and associated bad debts, primarily related to hospital private maintenance charges. Could Mr. Connaghan elaborate on that?
