There were a number of reports. For example, there is one headline that says that staff and executives spent €500,000 on DDDA credit cards. I am only asking because sometimes these reports can lack full information. I am not saying that this one does but I am just asking, because it was in the public domain, if Mr. Maloney can tell us what was happening there. It specifically refers to a flight to Paris for the World Cup, large quantities of wine purchased for some board meetings, expenses relating to golf outings for board members, €870 spent at a jeweller's shop and €2,200 spent at another location. All of these figures were in the public domain. All of this information was put into the public domain. That is what has caused an awful lot of concern, as to what was going on there at executive level, board level and with the staff. The travel is something that was built up over a number of years, including Finland and Russia. The purchase of caviar and wine in Russia was also mentioned in these reports. There were further reports of the risk committee notes 2006 being missing and not being made available under FOI. All of this was reported. I am trying to establish Mr. Maloney's view on all of that, as CEO. How did this happen?
