I thank the witnesses for those opening statements. Before we move to the committee members, Mr. Tubridy might clarify one issue for me. Obviously, the invoices for the payments of €75,000 were what brought this to light in March when the auditors found them. I want to ask Mr. Tubridy to set the scene for this meeting this morning. That €75,000 shortfall gap or additional payment - call it what you like - had to be made up. The country was shut down.
