I do. I have spoken about this on a number of occasions. They are speaking about the misuse of Exchequer funds. They are speaking about the breach of planning laws. There is an enforcement notice on the building. What happened was that it was permitted to be used, but I think there was some confusion about whether it was permitted to be used. The council sent a warning letter. There was a reliance on the provider to provide planning. The planning advice that was given to the provider to the Department was taken above the statutory planning authority, which had also given advice. There was a warning letter and an enforcement letter. The criticism here is in relation to public funds and the breach of planning law. As I have said on several occasions, there is not any issue with the people who are living in the accommodation. Yet, the Minister cannot essentially breach the law and rely on planning advice from the people who will be the beneficial interests in the contract, over and above the statutory planning authority. That is what has happened here. This letter responds to the first letter they received. Was there another piece of correspondence from them that we referred to the sectoral committee?
