I will turn again to the Department. I am familiar with one community healthcare organisation, CHO, area because we have been arguing about Owenacurra for a year. In that area, I can, off the top of my head, cite two examples where we have paid money in security and rent for an asset we do not have or have paid security costs to the value of an asset that we are not using. Do our guests know what I am saying? Whether there are thresholds or not, there is a cumulative effect here. We are not talking about small sums of money. We are talking about nearly €1 million. I want a comment from the Department on oversight.
