Mr. Brian Purcell:

I will give the Chairman the figures for the allocation provided, but it will depend on how things proceed and whether the bills for legal costs are submitted. The allocation for this year is €9 million. We spent just over €6 million last year. What we spend depends on when the bills are presented.
