I am not asking Ms Dixon to justify that. I have often made the point that public money is being wasted on rent, which is keeping market rents artificially high. I do not expect Ms Dixon to have an answer to that, but that is where I am coming from. I then see a perfect situation in which the commission is accommodated rent-free in a Government-owned building. That is great. Problems then arose and the organisation needed extra space. I will come back to how that space was acquired. Did the Office of Public Works look at any other building owned by Government or the OPW for the commission, rather than private accommodation?
