The reason I am asking is specifically with regard to the €80 million spent on ventilators that we never got to use. We did not get the money for those ventilators back and we subsequently donated them to India and other countries. There is no value for money there from the perspective of the public purse. What savings does Mr. Moloney estimate have been made since the establishment of the OGP?
