I understand that. It is a little like Mr. McMahon's line in praising himself for returning the €25.749 million to the Exchequer. The role of the OPW is to manage historical and heritage sites. That is part of its function. I say, "Well done," but that is it. The other part of the OPW's function is to account for how money is spent. If the OPW spent €5 million on camera platforms, media risers and so on, I expect Mr. McMahon to be able to tell us that there were four or five quotations and that the tender was awarded to an Irish firm or whoever else.
