I ask that the university would send us a note on that because that raises questions for me. It is most peculiar to have an outside organisation doing an internal audit and it is certainly the right step that the university has taken in that regard.

Speaking of steps being taken, I note that total legal expenditure is €926,000, which is actually lower than the figure for 2019. I presume this year's figure might be higher, given what we discussed earlier. There is a brand refresh and implementation fund of €87,000, which is higher than the 2019 figure, which was €85,000. The university in its opening statement highlighted the impact this whole saga has had on the reputation of the university. Is that fund for repairing some of the damage?
