Mr. Tony O'Brien:

We have accepted that €600,000 should be paid to the service provider as recompense for the costs that it had incurred and for which it was not funded. To go back to an earlier comment, this was not a court case. There was no hearing in court as such. Due to the particular legal status of the individual involved, the only way such a settlement could be made was if it was endorsed, in this case, by the President of the High Court, but it was a negotiated settlement.
