Ms Suzanne Eade:
As it was a swap, it was not clear in the code of governance. Since we have reviewed the transaction, the Department has come back to say that on a going-forward basis, if such a transaction takes place, we will need to seek ministerial approval. It was not clear in the code and it was below a threshold of reporting. The threshold is €150,000.
