We want each of those, in preparation for their meetings, while they may not have audited accounts, to have up-to-date financial information from their own management accounts so they can answer current questions. It has to be very clear that we will ask current questions. We will write to ETB Ireland and ask for a copy of its most recent financial statements so we have them in our talk with the Department. Let us see ETBI's financial statements and then we will make a judgment call on it at the next meeting when we have those. The Department will possibly be able to answer some of that and there might be specific questions, but let us get the financial statements. They would not normally come to us so we have to go and seek them since it is not under our remit. We have a good idea of where we are going. Where are we now?
