Mr. Culhane will understand my asking the following question. There is a receipt of payment in the accounts for non-public-duty services rendered by gardaí of €4.125 million in 2012. The breakdown of that figure is as follows: €1.954 million for covering sporting fixtures, €738,284 for concerts and festivals, and €1.4 million for other events. Will Mr. Culhane explain how the billing system works for concerts and festivals? It refers to non-public duties because they are private events. It could be the Electric Picnic in my area or something in Croke Park. Will Mr. Culhane explain the billing system?
