We are talking about action now. That is what the Indecon report is about. Bord na gCon was supposed to have a strategic plan by September 2014, and I do not know whether that has been drawn up. Mr. Murnane might tell us about that. There were 27 recommendations in the Indecon report. What is Bord na gCon doing with those? Bord na gCon states it has taken on board the five recommendations from the Comptroller and Auditor General. We would like to see those as well, but what has Mr. Murnane done with the 27 Indecon recommendations and the plan that Bord na gCon was to have drawn up by September 2014. I am not talking about something occurring in the future. If Bord na gCon is to deal with its overhang of debt, then it needs a business plan for how it will dispose of the assets, if that is the main way it will deal with the matter, plus any other proposals it has.
