Yes. It relates to the Department's spending on Traveller accommodation. Department officials were before us in February 2019 when I think we were reviewing the 2017 accounts. At that meeting, queries and concerns were raised about the underspend on Traveller accommodation. The same recommendation was made, almost word for word, when Department officials appeared before the committee again last year and the response seems to be the same again this year. In any event, it appeared as though they were hiding behind an expert review dating back to September 2018. Is that still the case? What has happened since?
