Since the OCI had committed to the Deloitte and Grant Thornton reports before the committee of inquiry was set up, I was asking whether we could have stood back and waited for those. We could not do anything about the ticket-touting in Brazil. Why rush into this? The Moran report recommends that the OCI absorb the recommendations of the Deloitte report. Why did we have to pay €300,000 to get that here today? In fairness, the current president of the OCI has committed to the implementation. These reports were commissioned before the inquiry.
