Mr. John Tierney:

Sorry; I beg your pardon. I thought the Deputy was going to ask more questions. On the process - I am sorry if I am giving the Deputy the same answer I gave to Deputy Cowen - we have outlined the approval process and the notices we got back in terms of the recovery letters and so on. In relation to the Government processes beyond that, my understanding is that the Department will be dealing with that issue.

On the item the Deputy mentioned in this morning's newspapers, we have issued a very clear statement on that today.

My colleague, Mr. Barry, will be happy to provide further clarification.
