What Mr. Mulvany is hearing today from the Committee of Public Accounts and what I am saying as its Chairperson is that we understand that and that decisions had to made quickly. We and all of Europe were caught in this situation. We were at the epicentre of the Covid-19 pandemic and we understand that and the work that was done to counter that. What we are saying to the HSE now, however, is that whatever the main equipment and sanitiser is, that this receives serious attention, in terms of trying to use it. Other services possibly might acquire this equipment, as in the case of India which I have no argument with, because this was a worldwide pandemic and a better use was found for it.
