Okay.

I want to move on to the situation with the horse industry, horse slaughtering, etc. It is clear from the reply to the parliamentary question and what Mr. Gleeson said this morning that the Department was aware of an ongoing Garda investigation and a prosecution being pursued through the courts, but we were not made aware that the Department was aware of that. We have established that. Has the Department interviewed any staff involved in this, either in the past or the present?
