I appreciate that, but Ms Kerins is mixed up with the charity. I appreciate that Rehab is a particularly unusual creation, but the public views it as a charity because a part of it is charitable. The message to Rehab and all charitable organisations should be to keep their books clear and their salaries to as a moderate a level as possible. It is a lesson that must be learned from this debacle.

If I may, I will ask a final question on the National Learning Network, NLN. From my experience, this is a difficult area to discuss in terms of achievement, etc. What is possible for one person with a disability is not possible for another. Does it concern the witnesses that there is such a high drop-out rate among the NLN's participants? Reference has been made to illness, which is a genuine reason for dropping out, but has this matter been examined closely and has the question of whether what is being provided is appropriate for the individual concerned been asked? From my experience of working with people with disabilities, what is possible for one may be impossible for another. As such, I appreciate that people must cut their cloth to suit their measure in a way they might not need to do in other areas of life.
