I want to ask about the Indecon report, which I will direct at Mr. Gleeson. Aidan O'Driscoll stated at a meeting of this committee in February that the IGB raised quite a bit of income. My understanding is that recent years have been more successful in raising funds through the operation of the food and beverage offering at race tracks. Has the Secretary General and the Department looked at IGB's accounts for recent years? This is coming back to what we asked about with regard to oversight and making sure everything is above board. At one stage, a representative of the Department was on the board. Why was this discontinued? Why is the Department not a member of this board about which there is all the controversy? Should the Department have a representative on it, and oversight by someone from the Department?
