It certainly will, and I think there will be a lot more information required from the hospital. I ask that we would get a briefing note from the hospital because we will have the HSE in before us next week and I think it is going to be critical to have all that information. I am trying to tie all the pieces together. As the C and AG said, there are governance issues in Beaumon going back before a lot of the witnesses' time, but there is a very costly pattern here and the taxpayer is the one picking up the tab. There are issues there. I asked about the audit and risk committee. I think we will need minutes of the board meetings to see whether this issue has been discussed previously at board level. There are concerns there. Other members touched on board members resigning, and an explanation was given for some of those resignations. I will ask the question as to whether any of those resignations or step-downs or whatever had come about as a result of some of these concerns. May I ask that direct question?
