Mr. David Gunning:

We can provide the committee with the numbers on what we spent in 2022. We have given that to the Committee of Public Accounts, so we can simply provide that information. If you go down the contractual route and this thing takes longer, longer means more expensive, more rows, more things going to the High Court and therefore that whole budgeting for legal fees is a bigger number. There is no doubt about it; it is not a pretty picture.
