That is a very clear answer.

Let me come back to the issue of the tax settlement with Revenue.

The OPW made an unprompted voluntary disclosure to Revenue of €550,000 relating to four years of expenses claims. Interest of €110,000 and a penalty of €16,000 were paid to the Revenue Commissioners in 2022. I accept that the penalty is being received by the State from the OPW, but the OPW does not want to be in the business of being in dispute with Revenue. Will the witnesses discuss the expenses claims that were the subject of the inquiry?
