Mr. Brian Murphy:

In 2010 the amount spent on external consultants was €4.954 million and in 2011 it was €3.149 million. The important aspect to remember is that this expenditure related to third-party technical, financial or legal advice. It is all recoverable from the sanctioning authority on whose behalf we are procuring a project.
