I wish to raise one last point relating to the infamous Nortel racks and the fact that they were not eligible to be purchased under the letter of offer in the first place. The racks were obsolete. A sum of €1.3 million was paid for them, even though they were only valued at €30,000. The racks were never used and yet the money was paid up quickly. How could something like that happen? Would anybody like to answer that?
