Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The report from Tusla to the Standards in Public Office Commission was a report that there had been double-claiming, but it did not name an individual. I have a copy of the commission's report in relation to that. The chairman of the commission wrote back to Tusla to ask it to state who the individual was, on the basis that the commission could not act unless it had that information. At that stage, further detail in relation to the matter was provided by Tusla. The commission then decided of its own volition to carry out an investigation into the matter.
