I am sharing time with Deputy Tóibín, four minutes for myself and two for Deputy Tóibín. I thank the Minister for his opening statement. I have a number of follow-up questions. He mentioned that he is currently amending his returns for the 2020 general election. When are we likely to get a formal submission of those returns? Is it going to be some day this week? Could he outline his engagement with SIPO in this matter? He mentioned last week that he had received a letter, I think last Friday week, from SIPO stating that a complaint had been submitted. Could the Minister outline if there was any indicative timeline as to when SIPO will make a decision in this regard? When will the public know whether this complaint will be dismissed or progressed? Finally, is this it? Is there any more information we need to know? Is every piece of information about this matter in the public domain at the moment or are we going to get more disclosures or revelations in the next couple of days?
