I have listened for a few minutes and nobody has referred to what I would see as a basic element of this transaction. I assumed the developer got the €31 million to pay for the cost of building the houses which the State got. Ms Tallon is telling me now that the developer got paid in full - the figure is €45 million or thereabouts - when the houses were sold. What was the other €31 million for if the developer was paid in full for the houses? The developer got the full proceeds for the houses. That has not emerged in anybody's comments today.
