That is the figure I have here. To put this in context, the simple question I asked was how much goes to the ETB sector from the Department of Education and Skills. Mr. Ó Foghlú has told us that €816 million goes to the running of the schools; €538 million goes to SOLAS; and payments to SUSI, processed by the City of Dublin ETB, come to a total of €410 million. Not all of the latter concerns grants to the ETB sector as some of it goes into grants for the university sector. That is fine, we will leave that breakdown for now. This then comes to an overall total of €1.764 billion. Did the Comptroller and Auditor General think it was higher?
