Okay, in the Grant Thornton review it states very clearly that no consultancy fees were provided either by the talent or the talent's agents and it did not reflect the substance of the transactions.

The then chief financial officer, under questioning last week in regard to the legality of these invoices, stated it was his view that the public had been defrauded because of the labelling of these invoices. Mr. Kelly clearly followed the instructions of Ms Geraldine O'Leary in order to, I would suggest, purposefully confuse the true nature of the invoices and what was being billed for. Would he agree with the former chief financial officer that the public was, potentially, defrauded because of the issuing of these invoices by him and the payment by RTÉ of the two €75,000 sums?
