That is quite something. It is an awful lot of responsibility. I do not want to personalise it to any one individual but this principal officer grade, what training did they have in terms of financial management or anything like that? What would be their training and is it mandatory? Let me phrase it in a different way. Is it a requirement currently, or does Mr. Conlon think it should be a requirement, for a person who has the responsibility of spending €500,000 of taxpayers' money to have some sort of training in financial management or budgetary oversight or anything like that?
