Mr. Brian Ó Raghallaigh:

I think I did answer that point for the Department earlier, as Gaeilge. We felt we were not an appropriate body to go to the High Court on a matter such as this because it is not our sole competence to do this. We apply the rules as set down by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Frankly, it would be bizarre if our Department went to the High Court on a matter that is actually the functional responsibility of another Minister. That would have given rise to great difficulties.
