With regard to foreign travel by staff, Mr. Boland said he has approximately 58 staff. I do not necessarily expect him to have all the detail to hand. On note 5 on page 12 of the annual accounts, a figure for foreign travel of €59,185 is listed. On page 13, a sum of €5,645 is mentioned regarding foreign travel in respect of the IRCHSS. Mr. Boland might tell the public what that means. I suspect everybody on the other side of the table knows what it means but that nobody else does.

On the next page, there is a reference to another group, called IRCSET, in respect of which the figure for foreign travel is €11,905. This results in a total figure of €76,735.

Mr. Boland might send a breakdown to the committee.
