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.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.
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.
