I wish to probe that figure of €4.2 billion further. That is the figure that is in my mind. That needs to be sorted out.

In relation to the recruitment of the eight additional commissioners, Ms Maney mentioned that the recruitment of two commissioners at the lower end who would deal with smaller cases would cost €160,000 per annum, or €80,000 per commissioner. How much would the recruitment of the eight additional commissioners cost, roughly? I just want a ballpark figure. I do not expect Ms Maney to be able to give me an exact figure off the top of her head. It is not her job to determine what commissioners are paid. She has some idea of the grading and salary structures. What are we talking about? Are we talking about €1 million per year?
