I do not mean to be facetious.

I ask because the IHRB receives €9 million of funding that essentially comes from the taxpayer. If we are talking about ensuring transparency and accountability then that needs to go across the whole raft. I will finish on this because we are very tight for time. It was mentioned by the trainers earlier that there has been a notable increase in inspections in the past number of months. Could Mr. Egan outline the rationale as to why that has happened and whether it is his view that this level of inspection will continue from here on in? Is there a particular reason for this period?
