Mr. Dave Walsh:

As far as I understand it, we have not. As you can see from the legal figures, they can go up and down substantially depending on the number of cases we have. In terms of legal advice, just to give you a sense, non-judicial general advice cost the board €57,000 in 2019. In 2020, it came to just under €62,000. In 2021, it was €91,000. That is the scale and level of the costs.
