Okay. If I interrupt Ms McGeever I am not being rude. As we are all aware we are caught for time all the time. If I interrupt the witness it is purely for that. Please appreciate that.

I am trying to help in this regard. I accept that this situation is not of the Tipperary ETB's making but it has to fund part of it and pay for components of this. It is rather odd that we have a scenario where the ETB is expected to pay out but there is a decision-making process going on in another State organisation that blocks the school from actually operating. There may be other legitimate reasons for that but the fact is that there is still a cost on the accounts of the ETB. Is this fair to say?
