That is the question because we saw the receipt into the local government fund from motor tax and there is a payment out to match it. We now see a receipt into the Central Fund for the fair deal scheme, but we do not see an equivalent payment going back to the HSE to cover it. I think it is a bit much. It is not right that €12 million from the fair deal scheme, where payments are being met out of the HSE current budget, comes in the back door to the Central Fund and the Department of Finance for receipts from the fair deal scheme, and that there is no mechanism in place to pass it directly back to the HSE to pay for ongoing fair deal schemes. Do the witnesses get the point?
