Verona Murphy: Did they know what they were talking about? The people Mr. Creighton is telling me were eventually employed to put in this system either did not understand or did not have the expertise.

Verona Murphy: When Mr. Creighton says they "looked at the form", what kind of in-depth analysis was there before this project went into play? I ask this because this could have been a much more serious issue, and I know a figure of €33 million is already very serious. The sum went missing for a while and then came back. I am a bit staggered by the answer. I thought this had occurred because of...

Verona Murphy: We talk about expertise and we have PwC being sued based on an audit. When we hire experts, I often wonder what it is that makes them experts. I really do wonder about that. I have to question this point every day and it is probably something I am going to question more. Mr. Creighton is saying he had his own people in the Revenue speak to experts in IT development in respect of...

Verona Murphy: -----which has now resulted in this finding. I will be quite honest in saying I was not expecting Mr. Creighton's answer. In that context, I would like him to submit a report in this regard, or to submit whatever report was carried out, to the committee so we will be able to see if there was a cost to what happened, other than the €33 million that was missing for three years and...

Verona Murphy: What I mean by a "cost" is that this happened, but then we obviously had to rectify the IT system. Had this project originally being carried out as it should have been, there would have been no need for a rectification or upgrade. It probably should all have been done at the time at which, as Mr. Creighton said, this consultation was being carried out. That is what I mean by there being a...

Verona Murphy: I ask that be submitted so we can have a look at it. I have one quick question for Mr. Makhlouf. The ECB first increased interest rates last August. Perhaps it was July. I was elected three years ago. In that time, I have persistently called for loan-to-income ratios to be increased. What was behind the Central Bank's thinking to increase them in early 2023? From a layman's...
