Ms Bristow might give us an idea of the cost to run its operations for the year. If that is sensitive information, I will not push it. I am pleased that all its money is coming from the voluntary sector, but is it its intention to seek State funding? It does good work but maybe it is happy enough. I would like to have an understanding, because we hear of animal welfare groups which are challenged, which say that they have to shut down, and which are under-resourced. I am thrilled to see that Dogs Trust can manage. It says something about the Irish people that they are committed to support animal welfare. I think this is brilliant. I would like to get a sense if it is cash rich? Does it not need any money? Is that what Ms Bristow is telling us?
