The facility is obviously going to benefit massively from this. It will be lifted to new heights. That is accepted, and it is okay. It is a commercial entity, so it is fine that happens. Of course, the State in general and the south-west region in particular will benefit hugely. The Committee of Public Accounts wants to know who else is making the funding contribution here. Is the taxpayer carrying the full burden? From the answers we are getting, it appears that the taxpayer is funding the whole lot. If that is not the case, can that be confirmed before we move on?
