Apparently, that is captured under No. 3 in administration, which is training and development. The Deputy was talking about the Charleton inquiry. I do not wish to discuss that inquiry here and how people who are party to that are handling different issues. They should be brought to the attention of the Charleton inquiry. The Deputy mentioned the Garda Commissioner and other parties. They have been granted legal representation and how they manage that is really a matter for the Charleton inquiry.

I answered a parliamentary question recently on public relations. I will send the Deputy a copy of the reply to that question. It related to one agency and it was €92,955 for January to December. On the Deputy's point about legal costs and how they are borne, the court makes a decision in each case as to who bears the costs. There is a subhead relating to legal costs. I can get the figure for legal costs borne by An Garda Síochána and I will send it to the committee.
