I welcome all the witnesses before the committee this morning. The first thing I wish to touch on is the fact that there is now a deficit of €3.6 million. Getting to understand why that occurred is important. It is also notable that between the 2021 figures and the 2022 figures, there was a substantial jump in expenditure. When I was going through the document before today’s meeting, I noticed, when it comes to salaries, that the figure seemed to be quite high for an organisation with approximately 306 full-time employees. Is that figure of 306 employees correct?
