To go back again on another general aspect, many courses are run in Templemore. They are mainly around the criminal code. One area in which people probably feel there is a real risk to the public is that of white-collar crime. I have to say that the way this has been handled in Templemore is not an exemplar from that point of view. We were told that people did not have the skill sets, were not experienced and all that kind of stuff. That was put in as a reason so many of these practices were in place. It does not appear to me that there is the same seriousness around issues that would be in the civil or corporate area. We were told that the Institute of Public Administration, IPA, will come in and do some training courses and things like that. However, in terms of the culture around what has happened here, it is very much in that white-collar area. In addition to the IPA doing training courses, is there anything else in terms of training in the college that is embedded in how that particular side of offence, if one likes, is captured?
