Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
That is why I am drawing attention to it. These are things that can in most cases be sorted. That is really why you need a specialist, particularly in a very big education and training board like the one in question. One reason the expenditure of City of Dublin Education and Training Board is so high is that Student Universal Support Ireland, SUSI, grants are paid.
There are actually two businesses in there. From memory, one is approximately €350 million, so by comparison with other education and training boards, ETBs, we are looking at maybe €250 million.
