Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:
As I said, we are unfortunately from time to time involved in many legal cases and we must keep an element of the Vote to cover liabilities that may arise for legal cases. Obviously, one cannot predict in advance the cost that will arise, so we estimate it as best we can and account for it in our Vote.
