Not particularly. The context is that we had a hearing with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport several weeks ago and it made the point it is engaging with CIE on its accounts on a fortnightly basis, or perhaps more frequently, to understand the viability of the company and ensure it continues to be stable and do well in the future. Given this level of penetration I am struck by the assurances Mr. Ó Foghlú offers, which I take in good faith, that no transfer of funds to other parts of the operation is happening. I seek to understand how this is verified. I am aware of the court case, but the particular issue I want to understand is how can we verify this and assure ourselves it is the case.
