I understand that and I appreciate that it is not Mr. Fraser's role to comment on what is happening in the health service. In terms of his Department, however, there was spending of €54.7 million on a combination of tribunals and commissions of investigation. Unfortunately, we may have to establish more. I am not sure if they will come under the remit of the Department of the Taoiseach's. The witness listed one that is not listed here. It will incur further cost. Those already listed may incur further costs again. In some of the cases, certainly the live one - and I do not want Mr. Fraser to comment on the issues - a lot of it could have been avoided if we just got the Civil Service to give us answers to questions. There is an interesting angle for the Committee of Public Accounts to look at. Surely, there are better mechanisms in place to ensure that we get full disclosure-----
