There is €130,000 for the Preferred Results report, possibly €23,000 for the strategic plan and €142,500 for Indecon. We are up to €300,000 for reports from 2017 to the beginning of 2019. That is great stuff. It is a lot of money. There are three reports involving external consultants on what Bord na gCon does next. Is this management by consultants? Does Bord na gCon get a consultant's report every time it wants to do something? There are four reports, if we include Tandem Consulting and Professor Dermot Duff. Within a short period of time, four different consultants were involved in telling Bord na gCon how to improve its business. Who will have the job of implementing the Indecon report? Will Bord na gCon need external advice on how to implement it? That is normally what happens. Mr. Dollard understands my concern.
