**The Report: **

“WOW! The lads told us some great stuff!”

The Bill:

A professional report with all the (political) skeletons laid bare - €1,000,000

A half-arsed report with the bodies buried and asses covered - €57,000,000

What did the reports actually say? If they said go ahead with your crazy plans to give free money to Anglo, the government should sue the consultants for bad advice. If on the other hand they said don’t do it, then we should be shown this report as a matter of public interest.

If they didn’t come to any clear conclusion, we shouldn’t have paid them at all.
