Probably. If Mr. McCarthy supplies a note on it, we will know for certain. No one is saying anything about misappropriation or the like and did not the last time we discussed this matter either, but it is appropriate that moneys be audited. We learned that these moneys had not been audited. How this Vote is laid out is general. There are broad headings, which probably do not provide the level of explanation that people expect or to which they are entitled. Obviously, there are costs involved in running the Presidency. That is important, as no one wants him to be cycling a bike or staying in a Best Western. Does the €317,000 include wardrobe, for example?
