To begin to sign things away like this and under time pressure is the type of attitude that keeps this committee going. If the attitude was one of zero tolerance for this kind of expenditure, then we might not be here today. However, we are here. It is surprising that as we ask simple questions, we are discovering the existence of further flights and further costs. That is the difficulty for this committee in this hearing. We are not getting the full facts upfront, either from WIT or by way of Deloitte & Touche which was paid €25,600 and which it seems will run up a tab of €64,000. Who was the chairman of the governing body of WIT in 2007?
