I asked specifically what has been lost to the Exchequer. I will come back to what Dr. Lynch has said. I appreciate his answer. Pobal has been asleep at the wheel. Dr. Lynch referred to what was done in previous years. Many different types of checks were going on. There were checks on headcounts, audits and checks on childcare. Meanwhile there were different checks on social economy and never the twain did meet. That was part of the problem. What does Dr. Lynch think has been lost to the Exchequer during the past decade? I contend that Pobal was asleep at the wheel.
