It is a serious figure in terms of the scale. There was a loss in 2014 of €1 million, and a smaller amount in 2013. The figure is in the hundreds of thousands. Mr. Meaney has said that Bord na gCon received legal advice but it is difficult for the Committee of Public Accounts - this is taxpayers' money. It was August 2015 when the 2014 accounts were signed. We will not wait until August 2016 to hear this information. Arising from today's meeting, we will ask for it as soon as it is concluded and that a briefing be sent to us.

Mr. Meaney mentioned the Department. Is there a Department representative on the board?
