I have been in and out of the meeting for votes in the Seanad and have missed things so if I ask a question that has been asked already, my apologies.

Mr. Ó Coigligh said that he has confidence that things have changed within the Department, and that he was not satisfied when he came in first about the situation with the Arts Council. He said when he was in here with the Arts Council a number of weeks ago that he is confident that things have changed, that oversight on the Arts Council has improved, and that the Department is more diligent in finding out for sure that things are as people say they are. When did Mr. Ó Coigligh find out that the Arts Council spent double the amount of money on legal fees?
