Some €538 million goes from SOLAS to the ETBs and they follow that money as I have just described. My question is on the €816 million which the Department pays directly to the ETBs. Does the Department carry out a similar exercise during the year for its €816 million as SOLAS does for its €538 million? That is my question. Is the same procedure in place? If I ask a chief executive in the afternoon to talk about his or her engagement with SOLAS, would what he or she would say be very different from what he or she would say about his or her engagement with the Department? Be conscious that they are coming in after this session.
