I apologise for being late. I will follow up on what Deputy Byrne has said. Who is responsible for the Department not having sufficient persons to be able to interpret whether this was correct? It is Groundhog Day again here. A number of weeks ago we had issues involving a multimillion euro loss in RTÉ, which occurred later than this and which also involved an IT system project. Somebody is responsible. Who is responsible? It cannot be the case that nobody is responsible. Somebody has to be responsible for a multimillion euro loss to the taxpayer between the Department and the Arts Council. If the Department did not have somebody professionally qualified to assess a multimillion euro project, somebody is not doing their job. Who is that person?
