With regard to that, Foras na Gaeilge was, unfortunately, a name that came up this morning as a body that had not replied following the letters that went out in December. The Chair of this committee wrote to all public bodies in December. Some 75% of the bodies wrote back and acknowledged the letter. I am afraid Foras na Gaeilge was one that jumped out in that it had not acknowledged the letter. We are simply looking for an acknowledgement. We were writing out with regard to delayed accounts. It was not just Foras na Gaeilge. Some 25%, including Foras na Gaeilge, did not even respond and still have not responded three months later. I do not see the rent that it was paying.
