Mr. GearĂ³id Breathnach:

A lot of the expenditure on property is fixed. It includes environmental costs, compliance costs, rates, the cost of street lighting, effluent plant maintenance, sludge disposal and so forth. There are a lot of fixed costs associated with our property portfolio. It is expensive, of which there is no doubt.
