That is interesting. On the golfgate event that took place in Clifden, there was obviously very poor judgment shown on the part of those who attended the event, which caused enormous public outcry, and rightly so. Does the Commissioner have any information on the cost of the subsequent decision by An Garda Síochána to investigate this event? This case has been before the courts and has concluded with a verdict that those who were in attendance were not breaking the law in many cases. How much did that event cost An Garda Síochána, given the scale and number of people involved in that investigation?
