This decision that Mr. Lynch made was made by two people. We are talking about a mistake, or whatever it is going to be called, that has cost €150,000. This will cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of euro. Where are we going to see accountability? At the end of the day, Mr. Lynch said he will not resign. He is not being asked to take a reduction in salary. When that bill has to be accounted for, however, who will take the reduction in salary and ultimately become accountable, other than the people Mr. Shortt represents? I do not call that accountability. I do not know what accountability looks like here but I know certainly there is nobody in front of it.
