Let me raise the issue of the payment of €299,559 to a subcontractor. In 2020, the OPW paid that amount, which was not due under the terms of the contract with the main contractor, directly to the subcontractor. It has been noted that the transaction was not recorded as a debt in the accounts. Could Mr. Conlon explain that to the committee?
