That is clearly what it says. That would be the normal process. They are quoting what I would consider standard procedure. They would not normally issue draft reports, especially to third parties. We are saying that this is not normal, the Oireachtas has taken a serious view and the Oireachtas has set up a committee of investigation. No doubt it will have to be produced, one way or another, in due course in any event, and this is not normal. An Oireachtas commission is not a normal commercial report that would be presented to a client. We will highlight in the letter that we understand normal procedure but this is not such. Are we happy with that?
