I would happen to agree with Mr. McBride, if that were done.

I might be running out of time, so my final point is on the amount of money paid to consultants. I do not have time to go into the legal costs, which are horrific. I hope that Tusla will be back here next year with a much reduced figure on that front. Not only is it huge, but it has increased since last year.

Consultancy fees have also increased. Who were these consultants? I have lost the page. I believe that the figure was approximately €3 million. Maybe the Comptroller and Auditor General has it.
