I will tell the Chairman exactly where it was recorded. It was recorded in the minutes. The majority of the board apologised for the breach of legislation. The Minister was very concerned by the breach of legislation, as were the survivors, but the board was not aware of it until it was brought to its attention, notwithstanding that legal advice had been given on it. Mr. O'Callaghan has clarified the issue in regard to Towards Healing. It has been confirmed that there was no permission for the refurbishment of the new premises. What about the other contracts?

Senator Ruane mentioned a figure of €33 million. I understand that the amount left in the fund is much bigger than that. I thought there was a different figure of €60 million still left in the fund.
