Mr. Colin Bray:

Within the OSi, we have sanctioned allowances in regard to our flying operations and other activities associated with care of vehicles, etc. That figure is in the region of €35,000. The majority of the €35,000 allowance would be in relation to our flying operations. Obviously we are dependent on the weather for our daily collection and flying operations. We have five flight crews on call at all times and they will fly 364 days per year. That is where the figure comes from.
