Yes. There is no learning. The Deputy is right. Everything we are seeing here was foreseeable in advance, if anybody had thought about it. There is nothing that should shock people. Everything we are witnessing in the context of the ETB sector, including the internal audit function, was foreseeable. There were approximately 30 old bodies - I am not sure how many of them there were - and each of them had a different accounting system. All of this was foreseeable.
