We know it is operating well because we get very few people coming to us with glitches or problems. Sometimes, we have to contact the office. A 30-second phone call can sometimes sort out a problem. The people there operate very well, did great work during the pandemic and with the Ukrainian thing and so on, and I acknowledge that. Was the €1.4 million evenly distributed across the offices? Did it depend on the size of the office?
