Dr. Ruaidhrí Neavyn:

The costs associated with the two Deloitte reports are €97,618. The legal costs associated with the two legal cases, one in relation to the appointment process and the other in relation to the expenses claim, are €22,428. We, obviously, hope to recoup these costs as part of our legal case. On the costs incurred for Deloitte one and two, Deloitte one was prepared to actually give us oversight of global expenditure within the office of the president in the time period in question, while Deloitte two was a specific report to undertake a more detailed analysis of expenditure in the years 2009 to 2011. Following on from this, we were able to identify specific categories of expenditure on which we wanted to have a greater focus for an extended time period. We did this and went to the Statute of Limitations figure in the six-year time frame dating back from 2012. Therefore, the review was completed for the period 2007 to mid-2011 and that forms the basis of the claim.
