Yes, that is the clarification I was seeking. I am allowing Mr. O'Flynn to place the facts on record. I could have taken, from what he said, that the administrator asked for the report to be carried out. One would presume from listening to what was said, that one does not ask Grant Thornton to compile a report and that it will do so on the nod. Grant Thornton will charge for any reports it compiles. What Mr. O'Flynn is confirming is that the administrator may have asked for the report to be compiled but that the union paid for it. This means that it did not just pay for sight of the report, it actually paid for the report itself.
