Mr. Cathal Guiomard:

For a number of years, our expenditure has been less than our income and our cash balance has accumulated. We are reducing future levies accordingly to reflect this position, while still keeping a buffer to avoid a situation where we would have to increase the levy sharply under current economic conditions if there was an increase in our costs.
