Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There was a tax audit of the Garda Vote in 2010 and it continued for a number of years. There was a settlement, a payment of liabilities, a payment of interest and penalties. It was disclosed in the appropriation account for the Vote. It was of the whole of the Garda Síochána. Mr. Culhane explained yesterday it focused on pay. It is yet to be established whether there was any focus on Templemore specifically. I do not expect the Revenue Commissioners can help with that.
