According to a report in 2007 by RSM Robson Rhodes, we were losing at least €2.5 billion a year then. It does strike me as very stark that while the Tánaiste was prepared to make very high-profile campaigns against so-called welfare cheats, this organisation has been underfunded for years. I ask the Tánaiste why that is the case. I am conscious of time.

My second question relates to the FAI. While I do not expect him to comment on an individual case, we know that there are 280,000 files. The ODCE asked for an additional five staff yesterday. Are we going to be looking at yet another rerun of the FitzPatrick file in three or four years' time, where because of a lack of resources the trial ended up in tatters?
