To clarify, in order to gain sight of the report, my understanding is that SIPTU paid its solicitor, who in turn paid Grant Thornton. In other words, the ultimate beneficiary of this transaction was Grant Thornton. Moreover, notwithstanding SIPTU's payment, the report remains in the ownership of Mr. Merrigan. How much did SIPTU pay either to its solicitor or directly to Grant Thornton in order to see the report?
