Mr. Tom O'Mahony:

I can tell you what the expected loss is for 2013. An operating deficit of approximately €28 million is expected in 2013. Over the course of a year, that would be less than €500,000 a week, but it would be more than that currently, because many of the cost reduction measures which will kick in during the year are still under negotiation with the unions.
