I note from the Estimates that €1 million was recouped from the banking sector in 2014, but the Minister said €4.3 was spent on the banking sector in 2014. The subhead covers consultancy and other services, which could include legal services. What were the main items? I am not asking the Minister to tell me about every cent. Was there consultancy? Was there a large consultancy contract to examine a certain area related to the banks? Was it very much legal work? Could the Minister give us some ideas as to where the €4.3 million was spent?
