If I am wrong about this, I apologise. I think the Attorney General got the letter simultaneously with me so I do not think there is any differential there. I will let the Deputy know when the Attorney General reports to me. I know it will not necessarily be available in the public arena immediately because I will not be taking questions here again for a long time. I know the Deputy has an interest in the matter.
I cannot comment on legal proceedings in Brazil or when they might happen and would not do so. If, in the unlikely and unhappy event that the Attorney General provides advice that the report should not be published under any circumstances, that will not be the determining factor for me in talking to Sport Ireland about funding the OCI. It is really important that athletes are not deprived of funding just because of that incident.
