Mr. Vivian Geiran:
To clarify further, the Bridge Project operated between 1996 and 2012 from premises at 125 Parnell Street and then moved to Gardiner Row temporarily, which is where it was based at the time of the report. Since then, the project has moved to a different premises on Parnell Street. The rent at this last premises is €45,000 per annum. The premises at Gardiner Row, which we got at €600 per month, represented a short-term stopgap arrangement and continued only for a number of months.
