Mr. Michael Culhane:

There is a memorandum of understanding, which was signed by the former Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Senator McDowell, the then Secretary General of that Department and the then Garda Commissioner, to the effect that we would recover the cost of providing those services from the Irish Banking Federation. There is a written agreement and the mechanism for charging has been agreed with the Irish Banking Federation. An Garda Síochána seeks to recover the full cost of providing the services.
