The Committee of Public Accounts is answerable to the electorate in making sure the finances of the State are managed in a proper manner. The sum of €30 million was put aside. A court decision said there had to be security of costs. That was €30 million that was risked on behalf of taxpayers. Surely we are now entitled to know the outcome of that risk taking.
