Okay. I just want ask one last question on the jet. I have other questions for the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. In the last paragraph of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, paragraph 8.42, he states "In the absence of a competitive sales process, it is difficult to conclude on whether best value was obtained." That is effectively the Comptroller and Auditor General's final word. What is the response of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to that conclusion by the Comptroller and Auditor General? It cannot be happy with a conclusion like that from the Comptroller and Auditor General.
