I would like to echo the sentiments expressed and the congratulations to the Comptroller and Auditor General and his office for the invaluable work the do. It is a significant help to the committee. At times, I do not know how we would carry out our own work without it.

I want to touch on the NTF and that ridiculous surplus of €1.37 billion. How long has that surplus been building?
