Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick County, Fine Gael)

The Arts Council notified the Department on 26 June by phone and confirmed in writing on 27 June that legal redress costs referenced at the committees covered payments and did not include outstanding work in progress to 30 May. That is where the €120,000 came from. That should have been corrected for the committee. It was by the officials from the Department. It was actually 50% of the cost. Is there more there? That is something we have to bottom out on. It also did not include the VAT figure, which brought it up higher.
