Ms Oonagh McPhillips:
In 2024, it was roughly €250,000. In 2025, to the end of September, it was €379,000. In terms of the costs we have just discussed with Mr. Delaney and so forth, it represents good value for money. As Mr. O'Sullivan has said, a person can only use that money in their home country. We give them a prepaid card.
