Thank you, Chairman. I wish to put a question to Ms Kerins on her earlier contribution this morning on the Rehab lottery. Ms Kerins disputes the audit claim that €700,000 was spent on communications, publicity and so on. Ms Kerins stated that the funds were not used for lobbying but for advocacy work with clients. Will Ms Kerins tell me in the simplest terms she can muster what that means? I might ask Mr. Purcell to comment on this matter also.
