Mr. Barry O'Brien:
It is actually fair to say one of the points raised by all of the section 38 bodies at our meeting last Thursday was that if they were to have their audited accounts for 2012 signed off on in the first quarter, it would create an additional expense and cost them more than it would if they were to have them later in the year.
