It is in relation to the actual salary piece. Can we just deal with the salary piece? Mr. Collins is saying that he was across that deal. I am reflecting on the answers he gave on that. He said that he concluded the standard part. I am trying to picture the scenario where Mr. Collins is concluding the standard part of Ryan Tubridy's salary, who had €440,000 or €495,000, whichever it was, in different years. Surely, before Mr. Collins could do that, he would have to know the basics around what kind of income Mr. Tubridy was already in receipt of, be it from the diversionary route or, as we now know, the concealment route, in addition to knowing the details of the regular, main payment.
