Ms Tallon is not labouring the point. I am trying to tease out a point of distinction. I have looked at the audit reports produced in the UK. I accept that many more such reports have been compiled in the UK, which is a bigger country and has a far greater need than Ireland for built infrastructure. We carry appraisals at the capital stage. When projects are up and running, however, how often do we check to ensure that targets relating to them are being met? I am referring to the operational rather than the capital stage.
