I have a difficulty as Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts. We are looking at the board's 2018 accounts. We have done a periodic report and the board has been in here twice. This is its third time before the committee this year. It was here at the beginning of January and in May. We did a periodic report based on figures provided in respect of the board. I asked a basic question. We spent some time this morning talking about the estimates for the future. I am asking about the part of the project that has been completed. I am sitting here as Chairman looking at the board's accounts in respect of the completed works and I am being told that I cannot be given a breakdown of the €100 million. That is not a good place for us to be in. Does Mr. Barry understand my point?
