I welcome our guests and thank them for joining us this morning. I will start with the Department's dispute over the amount of the postal charges due to An Post for the 2016 general election. It has been reported that the Department paid €14.1 million to An Post in May 2016 and it disputed the liability of the Exchequer to pay the balance, which was €1.5 million. Will the Secretary General explain the reason for withholding this money from a State body such as An Post?
