I welcome Mr. O'Flynn. I have a couple of questions. I do not want to get bogged down in detail but, effectively, €3 million of taxpayers' money went into a hole, with no accountability. No one seems to know anything about it bar, from what I can see, Mr. Merrigan. My question is on the set-up of the SIPTU national health and local authority levy fund. Was that part of social partnership? How did it come about? It was set up in 2001.
