That would be good. The other query about it at the time was that, apart from the fees being low, and I am sure these particular liquidators are the exception, in the past accountancy firms have been known to add hours to the time measure and stick that time into liquidation A or liquidation B. That is the reason for oversight.

I have no doubt that the hourly rates are competitive. Indeed, they were based on the NAMA rates. That concern still exists. Does the report deal with the matter?
