No, that is not what I asked. I asked how much we are paying collectively, public and private. Surely the taxpayers of Ireland would not be making a contribution if we did not know the total quantum amount. What I am trying to get at is the percentage being paid by the taxpayer versus the private amount. Surely there is no way it would be sanctioned by a Government, or by Dermot Nolan's Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, if we did not know the quantum amount. What is the total amount? Then we can deduct the €60 million from it. What is the contribution towards the Ryder Cup? Then we can deduct the public amount from it. If Mr. Ó Lionáin does not have the figures he should just say so but I would find it to be absolutely extraordinary.
