Mr. Denis Duggan:
First of all, when we initially proposed the levy, it was €60 inclusive of VAT, not €90. That also included part of the programme where we would pay the entry fees to a suite of nations cups, which added an additional new cost on us of over €100,000. That was part of the reason for the increased fee.
