Mr. Maurice Quinn:

I go back to the point I made earlier. We put a huge amount of work into it and resourced a team to work on this and to move stock on so that we would not have the overhead of minding and managing it. That is why the Deputy sees a movement. It was as a result of a lot of effort and work to move obsolete stock out of our stores, rationalising it.
