Professor Brian Norton:

I will ask my colleague to give details on that but it should have been and now is. I stress that it is not to say the amount was not scrutinised and known. The amount was budgeted for and was known to all the senior managers in the institute, including me, because we benchmark our library spend against other institutions. We knew how much we were spending and we budgeted for it. The transactional process was not as it should have been; that is a fact. It now is. Does Mr. Whelan want to add anything?
