Ms Oonagh Buckley:
I see my head of finance nodding at me. Sadly, yes, that is the most we have ever spent on legal fees. Approximately half of that would have been to our own solicitors and barristers, by the way. Half is our own legal costs and half is the accrued costs to persons who have been either successful or where we have conceded the cases.
