Mr. Joe O'Flynn:

Yes I did. I actually encouraged the administrator to provide a copy of that report to the Comptroller and Auditor General. I still believe it is not too late for him to do so and I think it would be helpful. I discussed it with him and the explanation that was offered was that this was a report which was commissioned by him and his legal advisers following the referral of the matter by the HSE to the Garda fraud squad. He regards this as part of his defence against any allegation being made against him about the use of the fund. On that basis it was indicated that the report was privileged and that the legal advice which he received from his legal representatives was that he was not to make it available.
