Okay. With regard to the background checks, both Deputies Guirke and Murphy have cited examples of companies that would have shocked people. They were either set up very quickly or had previously been found to have provided false documents to another State agency. The Minister is aware of one company that was reported in the media that had previously been on the tax defaulters list in 2021. In 2022, it then secured an IPAS contract. Profits rose in that company from €56,000 to €1.3 million. It subsequently emerged that Revenue had previously wound up two of the principal's other firms. This is before the Minister's time. My question, quite simply, is could something like that happen under the current arrangements?
