I understand those points, but, respectfully, that is different from the question I am asking. I have a letter from Mr. Moloney, chief executive of the board, to Ms Moylan, including a figure of €220 million. In the minutes of a board meeting, attended by Mr. Moloney, there is a figure ranging from €275 million to €375 million. There is a gigantic difference between them. Did Mr. Moloney not indicate this to Ms Moylan and the board? The issue is that he was seeking departmental consent for a different figure from the one the board was discussing. Why was there a difference and why did nobody quiz him on it? Specifically, why did Ms Moylan not raise the issue because the letter was sent to her?
