Mr. Tony O'Brien:

With regard to the cost of the reports, there is no doubt it is a substantial sum of money. However, the value of the reports is in the material they provide for the current ongoing Garda investigation, the value of which we have not yet seen. I would not agree at this point that the money has been wasted. Obviously, I have had the opportunity to read the reports, which the committee members have not. They are comprehensive reports and they provide a solid basis for the Garda investigation that is currently ongoing.
