Mr. Martin Callinan:
I am going to try to address the questions the Deputy is asking. It is the case that we have a very strict regime in place. We spoke about covert human intelligence sources. Within that capacity to gather intelligence there is a facility to make payments to people who provide intelligence. That is very strictly controlled by members involved in crime and security work and overall responsibility is fixed for making these payments. There is book-keeping methodology used. Does that answer the Deputy's question?
