Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
They are not supposed to be in a deficit position. The better columns to look at are the consolidated cumulative figures and the movement year on year. The figures in the fifth column should all be minus figures, or at least the figures €1.748 million, €1.897 million and €0.509 million. Just looking at those figures, without reference to the 2018 figures, for which the audit has not been completed, it seems to indicate a reduction in the deficit being achieved in the 2017-18 period of accounts. The figure is subject to adjustment if anything is discovered as a result of audit.
