We will cut to the chase. Can Mr. Ó Foghlú send the Department of Education and Skills' file in which it examines the ETB's case and gives approval? That is, will the Department send the committee the file containing both sides?

We will conclude. The meeting will resume on the housing issue at 3.30 p.m. rather than 2.30 p.m.

I have one question. There were various issues including the Comptroller and Auditor General being unable to complete the 2015 audit. We had the Thorn report. I have a simple question that this committee asks. Has anyone quantified the loss or potential loss to the taxpayer as a result of all these issues? It is one of the first meetings of the Committee of Public Accounts where no one has tossed out a figure for a potential loss. Has it been quantified? I will ask the three witnesses individually.
