Okay, can we bring it back to basic principles. I would be very surprised if Dr. O'Reardon answered that question by saying no, the Minister ultimately does not have responsibility for this fund. I would be concerned if that was the answer. I would expect that as a basic principle because to be honest, that was just a question to set the scene and I assumed Dr. O'Reardon would simply say of course, the Minister ultimately has responsibility for the fund and he cannot say that.
