No, I am not making that allegation at all. According to Mr. Goulding's statement, the CRC used a small portion of its independent funds to achieve the settlement. It used other parts of its independent funds to achieve the settlement as well. There was €700,000 elsewhere with Mr. Kiely. There was the payoff and other money that came in before then from the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic. We also have €3 million given by the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic to the CRC for the latter's pension. Whether it was for Mr. Kiely or not, I do not know, but was it not a misuse of the funds?
