We will have to discuss that. Mr. McKeon has drawn the line on commercial sensitivity. A certain sum is paid. Bluntly, what Mr. McKeon is saying is that if he publishes which organisation is getting less than the other, the one getting less will be in tomorrow morning saying it wants more because more is being paid to the other.
That is a cost to the State and we have to understand that too.
