Mr. Ray Dolan:
I will answer some of those questions. What I mean by the staff cap is that in 1999 there was approval for 30 staff and it is still 30 staff. With the Brexit situation, if it was a difficult or hard Brexit, we would need probably a few additional staff. At present, we run 99% of our campaigns on the island of Ireland and we take the consumers as one. If, however, one must tweak one's campaign, there will be a cost to that. Instead of having one radio advertisement, one will have to have two radio advertisements. Where one had one television advertisement, one may have to have two so that the information is applicable to the jurisdiction in which one is airing. There will be a cost to that. We are waiting to see what kind of a Brexit turns out before we can do that.
