Sorry, Mr. Quinn will bear with me. The Comptroller and Auditor General is clear. It is very simple. The Comptroller and Auditor General states that in process terms, an assessment of costs should have been carried out. Mr. Quinn accepts that it was necessary, but there was no assessment of costs carried out. I am asking Mr. Quinn whether he accepts that he did not do what was required of him. I do not want to hear about extenuating circumstances. I am talking about the process here. If Mr. Quinn accepts what the Comptroller and Auditor General states on which Mr. Quinn states there is no disagreement, that, to me, is accepting that what should have been done was not done. Is that a fair comment?
