With due respect, we are asking Mr. Costello questions here where there was information coming to the Secretary General of the Department of Education and Skills as staff were leaving for home yesterday evening. There was a general press release issued not going to the Comptroller and Auditor General and there were people under the impression that the Committee of Public Accounts would be provided with a document, which was read out here today and of which Mr. Boland and the Secretary General had no prior knowledge. Does the HEA have concerns that it is being bypassed in the process and that, in terms of governance issues here, it is being made a fool of?
