Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I am sorry, Chairman. The total examination and other fees for 2019 was €10.2 million. My understanding is that there are exemptions or waivers of fees for children who are entitled to medical cards. That is just from memory; I could be wrong. That might explain why not all people who sit the examinations would necessarily be paying fees.
