I have a few questions on that precise issue. Given that the company was wrong to some extent, which the board must quantify, what comeback has the board against the company, in terms of financial comeback, for advice that did not stand up? Has the board pursued the matter? This project is costing the Irish taxpayer money. Somebody made mistakes in terms of the cost and the obvious question from the taxpayer is as follows. Why should the taxpayer carry the can for somebody's professional mistakes? Has the board considered the issue and taken advice? Is the board considering seeking a comeback?
