I understand that, but I am a former Cabinet Minister and know what the situation is in the Department with regard to the Accounting Officer and the members of the management team dealing with all of the agencies under the Department. I can tell Mr. O'Driscoll straight that if I was the Minister, I would be having words with my Secretary General, assistant secretaries and principal officers if they did not know the answer to such a question. A decision was made to close and sell the Harold's Cross stadium. Did the board agree to this? It is a very simple question and it will be even more alarming for the committee if Mr. O'Driscoll does not know the answer to it.
