I will get the Deputy a detailed note on that. On the fixtures and fittings and the buildings costs, there was a significant amount of work done to make the tribunal Covid-friendly. We wanted to make sure any women coming in, some of whom could be immunocompromised, had the appropriate facilities. For example, the women and families involved can now do all the proceedings from their own rooms. They do not have to go into the same rooms as the lab or the State. Work was done by the Office of Public Works, OPW, to create a suitable environment in Covid-19, which many courts also have.
