I thank Mr. Dollard for that. He has used the word "rationalisation". It seems that the Indecon report has a predetermined outcome. That is the first thing. I repeat that the commissioning of this report, in terms of references to state aid, is not a blueprint for the future. The blueprint for the future is the responsibility of Mr. Dollard and the board. I find it incredible that not one member of the board was available or willing to come to this meeting.

I will move on to the next set of questions on the matter of turnover versus running costs. Most of the actual running costs of the organisation relate to hiring people and all of that. It was 15.6% in 2005, but it was 44.75% in 2017. I reckon it probably reached 50% by 2018. How in the name of God is that sustainable?
