SOLAS is a significant funder of the ETB. We discussed that this morning. In the latest year for which information is available, SOLAS gave €26 million. It is a significant funder of the ETB so why did the Comptroller and Auditor General not go to SOLAS as a funder if he went to the Department as a funder? I am seeking to understand how it was initiated. Mr. Ruttle said he wrote to Mr. McCarthy as chairman and arising from his letter to the chairman, he went to the Department.
