I have no issues in respect of that. I know of other ways in which this is done, but I have never heard of it being done like this. The role of the Committee of Public Accounts is to account for taxpayers' money. Taxpayers' money is being paid by the HEA – we will get a figure. I want the specific figures in respect of this programme rather than the total amount. It may be lined out or perhaps it is not. If it is not, then we need to get it lined out in some way. If the deputation does not have the figure, then we will have to get it again. It is then transferred to DIT. DIT is making an attachment to this and putting it into the DIT budget. Then, DIT is paying a British private company €3 million in one year.
