Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Yes. It is a clear audit opinion but I draw attention to the non-consolidation of the results of the Galway University Foundation Limited with those of the university group. The university is of the view that the foundation is not controlled by the university. However, I am drawing attention to the fact that, at 30 June 2012, the foundation had accumulated reserves of almost €54 million.
