That is my concern and I am afraid I must raise it with Mr. Ó Donnchú. The central Exchequer allocate the funds of €6 million and Mr. Ó Donnchú's Department is the responsible Department in this particular instance. As a taxpayer or as someone whose job it is to look at public accounts, I would expect that the aforementioned €6 million would be accounted for to that Department, because it should be subject to the oversight of the Comptroller and Auditor General and that Department. If it is looked at by the local government audit team, we do not get a full picture of that expenditure.
