Yes, one more about the HSE. I am looking at the €1.37 million paid in respect of the loss of private income. That is four OPW bike sheds. It is astonishing that compensation is paid for the loss of private work, presumably in a public hospital. I expect most committee members would say that alone is a reason the HSE should come in here at the earliest possible opportunity. The Comptroller and Auditor General has drawn attention to so many issues now, but the last one – the settlement – is the stand-out one for me.
