I ask Mr. Fraser to bear with me for a minute. On any issue that comes before the Committee of Public Accounts, there will have been a lot of meetings, public commentary and Dáil proceedings. I am not asking about them. I am asking Mr. Fraser questions. Whatever was discussed at previous meetings with my party leader or any other party leader is a matter for those meetings. Mr. Fraser is here today as the Accounting Officer. My question is if any representations were made to the Department in regard to the cost of legal fees? Mr. Fraser has acknowledged such representations were made.
