That is a very significant sum to be held not electronically or in a bank but in cash notes. There is probably a job of work for the committee in that regard and we will come back to the witnesses on that. The security of that, and us being satisfied as to that security, is significant. I do not think there is another organisation in the State, although I accept the Garda is different, that would have €40 million in bank notes and for which the Committee of Public Accounts would not have a good line of sight on the security measures and the steps that are in place to protect the money.
