I just have to comment on it, again, because of the experience I have in it. It does not surprise me that engagement is cordial. I would be surprised if they are not wheeling out the Château Pétrus every time the OPW comes around because they are getting €344,000 extra a month We are on the hook and I worry that money is gone. We will still be here, halfway through the lease, talking to whoever is in this seat. In any event, I will have to park that one for now.

There are a number of questions I have specific to big projects that the OPW is working on at present, but in the interest of time here today, what I will do, with the permission of the committee when we were in private session on a previous occasion, is put those in writing to the OPW relevant to the specific project and Mr. Buckley can reply in writing. Otherwise, we will not be able to do any beneficial work. Is that okay?
