I want to clarify that because I do not want people to misinterpret what I am saying. According to the Comptroller and Auditor General, the cost to the State of hiring that facility up to December 2016 was €101 million to the State. One provider has received €101 million in State funding for one centre housing 600 people. I think I am within my rights to ask about that particular centre. That is my view. Perhaps the Chairman will indicate whether it is fair to do pursue this matter?
