In the report produced by the UK's financial regulator, there were comments from the staff which clearly showed they were looking to, for want of a better phrase, take the Irish State for a bit of a mug, because they were coming up with concoctions which effectively arose where they took a discount off the sale price. When they returned the sale price, they effectively hid the fees in a reduced sale price. Instead of saying the sale price was €2, they were saying one had got a sale price was €1.98.
