Mr. John Tierney:

The committee will have seen from the information we set out today that there are certain legal requirements in regard to the release of information at particular times. Prior to this meeting, for example, we discussed the release of the information we have given with all of the providers who had no issue with that disclosure. We are part of a regulated model. There are situations, for instance, where in the case of competitive processes between bidders, the release of information might damage further tenders. We have to keep in mind those types of situations in the context of the legal piece. My colleague Mr. Barry might expand briefly on this issue.
