Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
Could I add something? As well as reactive maintenance, there could be planned maintenance, which could involve larger jobs such as the replacement of windows. However, there was also a provision in the contract for small-works projects to be carried out. I think there was a limit, possibly of €750,000. We examined this a number of years ago. Some of the projects undertaken were larger capital works projects. There was a further extension with the Brexit projects, some of which were quite substantial and above the initial threshold values expected under the contract.
