Mr. Feargal Ó Coigligh:

To clarify, I ordered a review in July 2024 on what happened. That was carried out by an internal staff member - the head of audit - at zero cost to the taxpayer. It was delivered to the Minister and to the Government in February of this year. As a result of that, the Minister commissioned an external advisory committee to look at the governance culture of the Arts Council. That will give rise to some cost, but we will come back to the Deputy on that when it is put in place.
