Mr. Watt sent us that letter on 12 November 2013. Could he send us an update? How much of that €305 million target was realised? Mr. Watt probably knows that figure, but could he send us the detail? We have just finished talking about IMF fiscal transparency. Mr. Watt abolished the review committee that independently verified savings, which we had under the Croke Park agreement. That committee reported to this and another Oireachtas committee. That gave public comfort and transparency as opposed to departmental officials saying what they had achieved. Why has Mr. Watt abolished the public, independent accounting or verification under the Haddington Road agreement?
