No. This has come into the general e-mail box of the Committee of Public Accounts. It is not addressed to anyone. It states:

I wish to make a correction to a mis-statement in a report referred to at the PAC hearing on 27/9/12. The report in question, produced by Deloitte, indicates that WIT paid an invoice to Bell Airways in respect of the charter of a plane to transport a visitor from Waterford to Dublin in June, 2007, at a cost of €4,200. Upon further investigation it appears that the invoice relates to a return flight from Filton, England, to Dublin.
The invoice for the Waterford to Dublin flight in March, 2007, amounted to €769.56.
This has only come to my attention since the 1st of October.
Yours sincerely
Dr. Ruaidhri Neavyn
President, WIT.
That is the only communication that we received and it was not obvious to the clerk to the committee because it came to a general e-mail box. That is all we received.
