That is all right; I will take it. I thank the Department officials for coming in again. I was not sure where I would start, but I might just pick up on what Senator Comyn said about the legal challenges and where those are at. I was really surprised to see the clarification in Mr. Ó Coigligh's opening statement around the cost, and when the Arts Council or the Department was told to stop spending money on legal challenges. We spent a lot of time discussing the figure of €60,000 the last day. When did Mr. Ó Coigligh become aware the cost was €119,000, or almost double that?
