I return to the points about value for money and oversight. Mr. Moloney is the accountable person and someone in his position in the public sector or in a public sector body has an ongoing obligation to demonstrate to this committee in particular that what is happening with Government and public spending is good value for money. I have not heard anything today that demonstrates how he does that or what his benchmark is. I understand the line of questioning from Deputy Carroll MacNeill when she asked about expertise. What does Mr. Moloney benchmark value for money against in the housing sector?
