I have one last question so I understand what it being said here before Deputy MacSharry comes in. At the time of that contract being given for a managed services entity with the Department and at the time that contract was signed, the organisation that got the contract would not have been involved in the retail trade. Maybe on day one it was in compliance with the state aid rules. However, Mr. O'Dwyer is saying that due to the passage of time and the change of business model being operated by the company that got the contract, it is a matter that needs to be looked at because it might not meet the state aid rules now.
