Mr. Tony O'Brien:

We will provide the detailed breakdown of costs to the committee as soon as possible. We do not have that level of detail with us today, but we can extract it from our systems and will do so. Regarding the impression that may have been gained that somehow the involvement of the Garda is a recent thing, or is designed in some way to shield us from providing the committee with this information, I just want to be clear that following the protected disclosures and the establishment of the inquiry there has been ongoing involvement and liaison with an Garda Síochána. There is no basis for any suspicion or concern that this involvement is recent or related to these proceedings. We do have written correspondence from the Garda asking us not to put that report into the public domain at this time. The committee will understand that we feel obliged to co-operate in that respect. There is no suggestion that we have sought to involve the Garda in regard to this meeting. There has been an involvement with it over an extended period.
