I welcome Professor Boyle and his colleagues. I have a number of questions but I might not take 20 minutes as I have to go to another meeting. The operating surplus for last year was reduced by almost €3 million year on year. Will Professor Boyle give the committee an indication of why that is the case? The advisory fees have gone up considerably in the same period.
