First of all, there is no guarantee it will be wound down or closed so let us not fall for the spin. We will have to wait and see exactly what is announced. However, there are still questions about money that was spent, which is the reason we were asking him to appear before the Committee of Public Accounts. It was not about future spend; it was about past spend so that invitation should still proceed. We will come back to that in terms of the work programme. A good question was asked, namely, whether Mr. Watt believes there was a solid business case. The point we were making was that there may well have been a solid business case for having a process that streamlines communication within the Civil Service. That is fine. However, the contention from some was that this was not what this unit was and it did something else so we should come back to it and not park it because of an announcement by the Taoiseach.
