On the Institute of Public Administration, I was looking at the note on the impairment. A few things could require clarity, and a letter might be written to it. It is six protected Victorian houses with a large contemporary extension to the rear of Lansdowne Road in Dublin 4. As I read the note, one of the properties of those six properties had a lower value, or resulted in the impairment. It is just not clear to me, if this property was purchased in 2006, which is a long time ago, why the impairment is only taking place now. I do not know if the Comptroller and Auditor General has an answer to that or if he could guide me on that. This is the Institute of Public Administration. We have to hold these people to a fairly high standard. They are the people who set the governance in some respects.
