I thank the Cathaoirleach. I thank the witnesses for their attendance. I have a few brief questions. First, I am not impressed that we could not get a detailed explanation for the financial charges in the accounts when we have the head of finance and the chief operations officer before us. An increase of 362% is substantial. We should be able to detail that in the accounts. That disappoints me. On Teagasc's investment strategy, a part of its model involves doing farm works and advising farmers in organic practices. Is that correct?
