Around half of that cost is sponsorship. It includes "Eco Eye", the environmental programme on television, at a cost of €255,000. That is a great deal of money but that programme gets about 300,000 viewers. It we look at the viewership of environmental messages, on a bang for our buck basis, that is very high. We have also made smaller sponsorship allocations. About €37,000 was given to the "Grow, Cook, Eat" programme that can be seen on RTÉ. The programme looks at the nexus of food, health and the environment. Those are the types of things we are involved with. We also fund exhibitions, such as the Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. We are there every year engaging with teenagers, kids-----
