It is not the record of the accounts, it is...

Chapter 7 - EU Refunds and Levies in the Agriculture Sector (16 Feb 2017) Seán Fleming: It is a bit unusual that the payments are coming through an account that is not before us but the fine is coming through one that is. People might find it a bit strange because we are not dealing with the nitty gritty of the schemes at the moment but the EU payments are very substantial in the Irish context and we are dealing with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine but most...
