Údarás na Gaeltachta has a list of other assets it sold. It is only fair that we know what it sold the assets for. There is a list of assets, so many of them were disposed and this is how much was received for each. It is reasonable that we request that. It is transparency in respect of the taxpayer having some comfort that the deal was done with a transparent process involving consultants, what was received for the company and how the Department was paid. Mr. Mac Eochaidh is telling me that, because of the confidentiality clause, a lump cash sum was received in one payment and it is in the bank.
