Mr. Noel Curran:
Absolutely. All I am saying is that the comparisons with the people used are complicated. If people use figures of two times and three times, that is complicated. However, that is not the issue here. The main issue is that we addressed the problem. It was a difficult problem to address, frankly. We got co-operation from the people involved - again I need to say this publicly - and we have taken substantial reductions out of that. This does not mean that we will not judge each case on an individual basis, nor does it mean that we do not realise that the public has concerns about this issue. That is why we took the action we took.
I will ask Mr. Bakhurst to answer the question on "Oireachtas Report".
