That is just a clarification. I do not like talking about staff and employees because it is not my remit but these questions were put to me and I must ask them of the witnesses here who are accountable.

I understand €500,000 was lost last year on catering. When the board had its own catering services in place it was making a good profit. The board then changed to private contract catering, which has now been subsidised by €500,000. Is that the case?
