I thank the witnesses for staying for this length of time. In my first contribution, I did not have a chance to discuss the Passport Office in Cork. As we know, a 20-year term has been agreed for a building at Navigation Square in Cork City, at a cost of €26 million over a 20-year period. That averages out at €1.3 million per year in terms of the rental cost of the building. Are those figures accurate and correct? The cost will be €26 million for a 20-year lease.
