My final question is about the posts that are hard to fill. We all understand there is enormous difficulty not only in Ireland but worldwide in attracting people to any health service. I completely understand that. What does the relocation package entail, for attracting workers and graduates who emigrated and came back and so forth? There are enormous pressures at the moment with the cost of living and staff. What does that relocation package look like for somebody coming back to Ireland or coming to Ireland?

The relocation package really is intended to cover the cost of somebody relocating to work with us. It covers primarily the cost of their flights, any registration fees they may have with professional bodies here, and accommodation for the initial four weeks when somebody relocates here. I can provide the detail. I do not have it with me. It equates in the region of €18,000 to €20,000. That is from memory but I can provide the details on that.
