I will come back to the value for money element of it shortly. With the way it is going about it at the moment, the Department may achieve its savings, which would be a success for that Department. However, is there consultation with the Departments of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and Social Protection to consider the wider picture? I get the impression - Mr. Watt can correct me if I am wrong - that the Department is determined to save its €500 million and it does not care who goes under the bus. Am I wrong in that?
