Okay. We are going to ask the Department to give us the straightforward history on a year-by-year basis since the scheme was introduced of the amounts that were returned to the Department. If it has happened five or six times since the scheme started it is a normal event and we will take that. If it had never happened before and only got highlighted, that would mean Bus Éireann was sitting on that money until whenever somebody highlighted it. We need to know the full history of any repayments to the Departments of an uncommitted reserve and over what period those uncommitted reserves built up. That is what we need. Let us just get that. After all our talk on this we still have not got that basic question answered.
