We will ask Mr. McCarthy to help us because I would have thought, looking at these accounts signed by Mr. McCarthy, and the appropriation accounts, that there is a figure of €376 million outstanding on one account and a figure I mentioned earlier of €477 million, that is, almost €1 billion between the two, and now we are told they do not appear on the State's asset sheet as approved by EUROSTAT. We have learned something new today.
