Mr. Brendan Rogers:
Yes. What the Deputy has said about the receipts is absolutely true. One can receive false receipts which one of the donors received. That is why the lesson to be learned is that not only should one receive receipts but one should also receive bank invoices. That was the key point. We now know that was the problem.
