Just to be clear, we are looking for the numbers involved, maybe over a number of years, and then the cost and so on.
With regard to the procurement process, I want to raise the issue of the International Protection Accommodation Services.
The Minister oversees the different Departments, the procurement process and so on. Why have so many of those providing accommodation services and so on to the State not been paid for months? In one case it has been four months. They are providing a service for those from different parts of the world who have been displaced, and specifically for the Ukrainian population. They are paying food bills, energy bills and all the rest of it, and they have not been paid.
