I will return to the fact that there are no audits but the aims of this programme is to stimulate the production of munitions. Explosives have got €124 million of a budget, powder has a projected portfolio of €248 million and shells has €90 million. Is not the answer to the question that the Irish taxpayers are funding the production of munitions in Europe not clear as the nose on my face?
