On a rough estimate it seems to be nearly balanced. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is 60:40. I am looking at the administration costs, however, and the costs are rising all of the time. I understand inflation and the different reasons, but the board was set up and then there is an oversight body after that under the Department, which I have not even got to. Maybe at some stage we might get information on that, because, from day one, it was not staying within costs. Still, the costs have gone up. We have a board doing its best, and I am not here to castigate or cast aspersions, but there is no learning from this unless we have a complete breakdown of the figures, and on a rough estimate it seems to be 60:40.
