I accept that Mr. Owens has only recently assumed the role of chief executive officer and I wish him well in his new role. It is very important, however, that these matters be discussed in light of the report produced by the Comptroller and Auditor General. I note that correspondence members received today is very critical of the former chief executives of County Cork VEC. While they may not have been entirely to blame, does Mr. Owens accept that their actions made the resolution of problems at the VEC much more difficult?
