No, I am trying to make a general point. That is one example. There is apparently another example in Galway with a building for the Revenue Commissioners and an example involving Foras na Gaeilge, which we have raised many times here. In that example, the business case identified a different solution and Foras na Gaeilge is renting a building. There is also the National Treasury Management Agency, where the witness is on the board, and the National Asset Management Agency. There is a huge amount of money going out in rent. If this is an example of the options appraisal, are we not in serious trouble in a sense? There does not seem to be any proper options appraisal being done with alternatives.
