It is extraordinary that the legislation would by and large be ignored and that, as the clock was ticking, it was running up a cost of €9 million and nobody felt it necessary to cry stop and pay the suppliers. It beggars belief as to the state of the management within the HSE. They are called into serious question over it. It is a matter that we can deal with when the HSE is before us again. It is shocking.

On the work programme, we have the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government next week, then we have Revenue and then, as we discussed earlier, the Department of Education and Skills. Are there any matters arising from the work programme? Is it agreed?
