Does that indicate that the €317,000 can be paid per annum, accumulate and then, if there are amounts left over, as seems to have been the case in 2011, the balance is refunded to the Exchequer? Whoever was responsible at the time, we do not know on what the money was spent per year and still do not. We want to get the procedures, albeit we know that the Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach does not know and that the Comptroller and Auditor General is not responsible and does not know. According to the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Secretary General of the Department of Finance also does not know or have a role in auditing that amount of money. That is significant and if it is all we find out today, it is good work.
