The accounts show the charge to the statement of revenue and income and expenditure was €318.7 million in 2018. That is what was booked out, but what was the value of the claims received during the course of the year? I am worried because it is escalating year-on-year, and that is why we are looking at it. Do the witnesses know the value of the claims that came in, that brought the previous year's figure up to €2.792 billion, and allowing for the €318 million being paid out?
