Many organisations in this country, State and private, are subject to surveillance. It is part of the world in which we live, unfortunately. Would you suspect any internal reason someone might want to carry out surveillance of the organisation? Is there any particularly sensitive investigation you are carrying out at the moment that might provide a motive for some person or group to carry out surveillance on his office? I have no difficulty with a British or American company, or whatever, doing the sweep, but I would imagine that a number of Irish companies could have carried out the sweep on the offices. Why did you not seek an Irish company?
