There is no problem with that, and time-wise it would be better. I ask the Department to provide all of this. Let us be clear that I have made these questions very obvious. I want to know the public versus private amounts paid for the Ryder Cup and the total amount paid in relation to the overall project, which is now €60 million. I ask the Department to break this down for us. What Adare Manor has to do privately is a matter for itself. I do not think the total amount paid for the Ryder Cup is a matter for Adare Manor because that is an Irish figure. The public aspect of it could not and should not have been sanctioned unless we knew the total amount afterwards. I appreciate that.
