I will move on to a matter referenced in some of the documents we were furnished with. It relates to allowances. More than €4 million was paid in allowances. Some of them are perfectly understandable, including shift and call-out allowances, etc. However, one allowance is under the category "personal". An allowance just short of €500,000 in total was availed of by 46 people. The document states that the category of payments made to individuals includes allowances related to being on air, for example. Are people not already paid for being on air?
