Let us talk about legal expenditure because I was looking at the State Claims Agency having settled claims. There is quite a large bill for claims. It is up around €60 million. In 2020, the State Claims Agency paid out €6 million but that is not accounted for in Tusla's expenditure. It is not attributed to Tusla at all. It is attributed to the State Claims Agency.
