We are talking about the additional exceptional funding, when they got into trouble, of €15 million. Is that right? That was given and the Secretary General has admitted that the checks and balances did not work. Is that right? I mean, the money was given. The Comptroller and Auditor General has clearly outlined a number of times that advances were given and only once the Department was notified and gave permission.
