It may be worth auditing some of the section 39 organisations but that is another day's work. I thank Mr. O'Brien.

I welcome Ms Kerins. I am very much aware of the work done by Rehab. We have received much information on the group and how it operates this morning. I have accounts here for National Learning Network Limited and RehabCare and I appreciate there are other enterprise services with an annual turnover of approximately €103 million - that was the figure last year. It is very hard to identify who pays for whom and how the organisation manages to spread around shared administration costs. I ask Ms Kerins to explain the position. I have seen staff salaries in the accounts. Are the directors of any of the companies paid? Is it correct that all directors and members of the board work on a voluntary basis?
