I understand what the agency does but the issue is why it is done and why it is done in that way because we consider the value for money context. If we are spending millions of euro and Mr. Burke's organisation is subcontracting work to be done by outside organisations, I would like to know why that is being done. Is it for the purpose that the agency wants to get independent outside analysis or views or is it that there is not the expertise within the organisation to do it or is it both of those?
