I am merely posing the question. It would seem bizarre. This is a national scandal. It is no reflection on the person, but given the position he or she held and where he or she works, it seems bizarre. I want to get it straight. The Minister found out about this in August, as we have heard. Until November, the Department of the Taoiseach, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Finance did not know about this. Is that an accurate statement?
