I have only two practical questions, one of which concerns the cost of the Deloitte report, which Mr. O'Brien previously gave but which I have forgotten. Last year after Mr. O'Brien appeared before us, he sent a comprehensive letter setting out the cost of the audit committee and of the compliance unit. Could he update us on that? He told us at that point that the internal audit function had 49 staff and cost €2.96 million. The letter is dated 25 July. Can Mr. O'Brien update me regarding current staff numbers, what the HSE has put in for and the cost? It was said that the compliance unit had 12 staff members and an estimated cost of €845,000. Added to that is the contract management support units. If Mr. O'Brien could set those out for me along with their cost, I would appreciate it.
