I am asking, first, about the cost of the report. My second question relates to Mr. O'Brien's statement that the organisation in question was not treated either unfairly or disproportionately when compared with other similarly funded organisations. The service provider had a particular extra responsibility and, as such, was not comparable with other organisations. That is the point my colleague, Deputy Cullinane, is making. It is completely disingenuous of Mr. O'Brien to make that statement. How many other Graces were in the organisations with which comparisons are being made?
