No. Uisce Éireann is already on the logo. I welcome the fact that it is an Irish name. It has been there from the start. It could have been called that from the start. Now we are told that a company is being paid that kind of money to do the rebranding. That is absolutely bananas and nuts. Anyone in the corridor or in the street would say it should just be done. Uisce Éireann is already on the company stuff. We need to get to the bottom of that. It is symptomatic of the fact that these things happen. It has been reported. We need to check with Uisce Éireann if the reports are accurate when its representatives come before the committee. If the reports are accurate, we need an explanation. I certainly would like to know, as Chair of the Committee of Public Accounts, if that happened, why it happened. I cannot confirm or deny it. It has been reported in the media. We will get to the bottom of it.

Meetings with Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI, and with the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, were also proposed for July. A report has been published. I thought we were almost finished with NAMA but it has not gone away.
