To be fair, I understand that. We went through this at the Committee of Public Accounts. I am asking a factual question. This relates to what the Taoiseach said in the Chamber last week. These are factual questions. I am not asking Ms McPhillips to theorise. I am not even sure we would be here if these questions were answered on day one. It is either black or white. The Department either knew it was happening beforehand, at the time or afterwards. We need to know the answers. These are facts. In a democratic process, unless everything closes and Ministers are not accountable, the questions must be answered. I have repeatedly asked the questions and I cannot get answers.
