Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

We have many rented buildings and several that are rented for us by the Office of Public Works, OPW. We are trying to consolidate as much as possible. There are rented buildings in Portlaoise. The Chairman would be familiar with that and some we have left. We are trying to concentrate our staff in Portlaoise and hope in that way to reduce rents. There has been some reduction in several areas.
