I have just got a copy of a statement by Redmond O'Donoghue, the former chairman of WIT - which is worth reading into the record given the discussion we are having - in which he says: "Never once in that period was concern about expenditure brought to my attention or that of the governing body by as much as a raised eyebrow - not by the finance function, by internal audit, by the audit committee or by the external auditor who is the Comptroller & Auditor-General". As this is the first time I have seen his statement, I do not think I can comment on it. I will conclude my questioning for the time being. Do we have the invoice?
