Ms Eileen Creedon:

In 2011 we embarked on a specific programme of renovation of our premises. As one can see in 2012, although we had an Estimate figure of €70,000, actual expenditure was down to €32,390. The figure for 2011 involved refurbishment, the realignment of rooms to create better accommodation and reorganise the interior of our office space which resulted in an abnormal spend.
