Mr. Barry O'Brien:
Last year, the average cost was approximately €16.5 million and our agency spend was €214.938 million. There were some variables, including a peak in the summer period of June, July and August, when the monthly cost was as high as €20 million, before reducing to amounts such as €16.6 million, €16.9 million and, in December, €16.4 million.
