The report contains stuff that is very commercially sensitive. I know that the Deputy is very concerned about this matter. Therefore, I will ask that he is briefed by the people in my Department or the NTA who compiled the report. They will give him a full idea of what has been redacted. It would be a pity if commercially sensitive information got into the public arena. I know I can rely on him not to put the information in the public arena when we have assisted him. I offer the Deputy a briefing on the redactions at a time that is convenient to him so that he is fully aware of matters. I ask him to be reasonably discreet with the information when he gets it because it has been taken out of the public arena specifically for commercially sensitive reasons.

The Deputy mentioned the Dáil motion. It is not quite true that I ignored the motion. I can see his point but he has made several calls for me to do certain things in that Dáil motion that he introduced.
