The reason I zone in on it in this short time is that week after week reports force changes in institutions. I wonder why the change does not come before. We are then left asking whether the change has occurred after the synthesis report, after the questions that were raised or after the fraud in Uganda. That is why I am asking in that context and Mr. de Búrca is telling me the recommendations have been implemented and the last two are in the process.

I have a practical question on buildings, land and premises. It appears in both accounts. I ask about this all the time in terms of what is rented and what is purchased and owned. Looking at Votes 27 and 28, land and buildings on page 11, is there a schedule of such land and buildings? How is valuation carried out? How are decisions made on buying or renting property? The same applies to Vote 28 on page 11, land and buildings. If we open the two together under capital assets, one figure is €7.639 million while the other is €156.548 million.
