EY has been involved in this process since November last year. Its task is to provide an independent financial assessment of the resources available to each of the organisations involved. I am not aware as to whether its analysis has been completed.

Whether the report from the negotiator will be published at the end of the process will be a matter for the Government to make a determination on. A report will have to be brought to the Government. My recommendation would be to publish the report. It is important as part of the transparency of the process but it is also important that we have a final report. I do not think interim reports are useful in these particular situations, especially when a negotiation is ongoing. While I hear the Deputy's frustration and that of others, I do not believe in giving a running commentary in a negotiating process. I does not help its long-term goal.
