No, you do not have to apologise. Does Mr. Wickham see that when there is a chain of responsibility, when everybody is responsible, then nobody is responsible? Mr. Wickham is just going to keep repeating that there are different layers in place. He has pointed this out and it is on the record. I am still at a loss, however, to know why independent tests are not done by the Government when we are in a situation where we are paying out over €2.2 billion. I do not know why the Government would not see it as very important to test and to have regular, independent tests of quarries and the material coming out of them, and not just to have tests done by industry.
