Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

The overall settlement was north of €1 million but we put that in the context of how much business was done with that supplier over the period and the potential risk. That was a long-standing case which we settled. We also had additional legal costs around various commissions of inquiry, etc. Last year, those costs went up. They fit within overall professional fees and legal costs, which went up by about 2%, but certainly the legal fees element of it went up significantly.
