I welcome Ms O'Donoghue. The Chairman has made a good point about extrapolating the payments. In terms of the average payments, that is a random selection at a particular point in time. What would be the margin of error on those types of payment if the Department had a concern about them? With the budget available to the Department, it would be difficult to do a random selection on the 453 different depots, but if we take the two different locations, it would indicate, as with any business, a figure of 1% or 2%. It is like a poll. What the Chairman has stated would be a fair assessment.
