3.21 COMMUNICATIONS
               We believe that it is essential that you are kept informed about any Company matter, including its
               plans for the future, which may directly affect you. We also expect and welcome feedback from you,
               and we have a variety of communication channels to encourage a two-way exchange of information.

               3.21.1 One-to-Ones
               Individual issues concerning employment conditions will be handled individually by a Partner/Director
               on a one-to-one basis, as part of normal day-to-day work.

               3.21.2 Staff Meetings
               Sharing business info, planning together etc. apply to all employees and are held on a continuous
               basis.

               3.21.3 E-Mails
               If you have access to Company email remember to check for e-mail on a regular basis and at least once
               a day. Information on Company business may be disseminated in this way.
               3.22 ALCOHOL AND DRUGS

               Alcohol, except that used for Company-organised social events, is not allowed on Company premises.
               Employees believed to be under the influence of alcohol whilst on Company premises will be subject
               to disciplinary action.

               Drugs (apart from those prescribed by a Medical Practitioner) are not allowed on Company premises
               or at Company functions. If there is a reasonable belief that an employee is in possession of, or under
               the influence of illegal drugs, he or she will be liable to suspension and/or dismissal. An Garda Siochana
               will also be notified.

               3.23 COLLECTIONS
               If you wish to take up a collection, sell raffle tickets etc. within the Company, for whatever purpose,
               you must first obtain the approval of a Partner/Director.
               3.24 NOTICES/POSTERS
               Notices or posters may not be displayed on or within Company premises without the prior permission
               of a Partner/Director. Similarly, documents or notices, which are not directly relevant to work, may
               not be circulated without prior permission.
               3.25 EXPENSES
               If you incur any expenditure on behalf of the Company, you will be reimbursed, provided that the
               expenditure has been wholly, exclusively and reasonably incurred on Company business and has been
               approved by a Partner/Director.  Any claims for reimbursements of business expenses should be made
               as soon as possible, such claims must be accompanied by VAT receipts. Original receipts should be
               attached to the claim (i.e. credit card receipts are not acceptable). VAT receipts are expected for all
               expenditure.

               3.25.1 Purchasing materials from the Company
               Employees seeking to purchase materials or equipment from or through the Company must do so
               only with the expressed permission of a Partner/Director.

               All money outstanding must be paid either within 30 days of receiving the materials or, by special
               prior agreement with a Partner/Director only, be deducted in stages from your wages.
