We look forward to seeing that. What was actually received was €120,000 more than what was originally published. That is what I want to clarify. The Comptroller and Auditor General has suggested an explanation. Mr. Collins can come back and definitively clarify this with regard to the €34,000 gap.

I will move on to the classification of contractors. There was a €1.2 million settlement. It took us a number of pieces of correspondence and a long committee hearing to try to get to the bottom of this. There was a settlement, and while we did not actually get the figure that day, as I recall, we did conclude. I suggested a figure of more than €1 million and I think we got an indication that it was €1.2 million. We note from the previous engagements with RTÉ that discussions are ongoing with the Department of Social Protection and that was undertaken on the back of the Eversheds report and the €1.2 million settlement with the Revenue Commissioners. What is the current status of the Department of Social Protection audit? If the witnesses do not have the answer, I understand that, because they might not have it just three or four days into this. Perhaps Mr. Lynch could answer briefly. What is the current status of that?
