The loss was incurred. Students and staff tell us that they have had to suffer the brunt of the cost savings that have had to be made. DIT cannot have lost €700,000 without a knock-on effect on the delivery of services for students and teaching staff. Can Professor Norton give us an indication of how DIT shared the pain of the loss or send us a detailed note? That is the big issue after the loss was incurred. I read the High Court documentation. Following the first meeting of this committee in July last year, we wrote to him about this because the institute's annual accounts had just come in and we received a 100-page report from Professor Norton. We are familiar with that. The fallout from that is most worrying.
