Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
It is and we do not do it lightly. This is an ongoing issue between UCC and the Department. For a number of years I was drawing attention to and qualifying its recognition of approximately €14.5 million or €15 million in respect of this specific item. An agreement was hammered out that it would do a 50/50 share of the cost associated with this specific aspect.
