I refer to the different buildings we lease or occupy. At page 23 of the financial statements at A, B and C, there is a list of the various buildings that are occupied. The rents on some of them seems very high. The further education centre in Arklow costs €250,000 in annual rent which seems like a huge sum. Can I have a bit of background to a sum of that magnitude? Are there independent valuations to certify that this is the market rate for such a building? From what entity is it being rented?
