We will get that information. I want to clarify that it is not just legal fees. It is also any other external services around mediation or professional services that were involved in that process. Can we clarify the overall cost on that? Deputy Geoghegan made reference to what was effectively in dispute and why it took so long. I do not think it just cost €120,000. It sounds as though it potentially cost a lot more. Finally, I go back to something I want to clarify so I am 100% clear in my own head. It is the individual or individuals who were not deemed suitable for regular work but were deemed suitable for out-of-hours work. Reference was made to potential nighttime calls and so on. Were the individuals in question not working at all during the week?
