Mr. John Kelly:
I do not think we will see an acquisition in the near future the way things are going. There is a section 64 review ongoing. A governance committee was put in place, which was chaired by Professor Kilcommins, post the previous Committee of Public Accounts. One of the recommendations was that even though we have a policy and, frankly, were it followed, this would not have happened, the policy and procedure need to be more closely aligned and much more detail needs to be put in the policy to make absolutely certain.
