David Cullinane: Dr. Murphy is reluctant, I would say, because my understanding is that they were. If they were, why were they one of those firms that were then paid €10,000 in the course of this work?

David Cullinane: The Department would have received an unredacted copy. It is only the Committee of Public Accounts that received a redacted, heavily redacted, copy of the report. Are we the only ones who received the redacted version of it?

David Cullinane: What I am saying is that everybody else has full unredacted copies of it, except this body. We are the public representatives, the democratic oversight. We are kept pretty much in the dark.

David Cullinane: Some 71.8% of the €1 million loss. It is quite shocking for Professor Norton that it was 71.8%. It was described in the past as quite shocking by his organisation. What did Professor Norton do about that when it happened? Did the institute itself commission a report into this?
