Mr. Joe O'Flynn:

There were months involved. The first contact was in September 2009 and to be fair, I had never met Dr. Smith before that. I did not know of her. I got a telephone call and I responded immediately. When I rang her she said that it was really important that she would meet us and we met her that very evening. That was the first occasion on which I had any knowledge of anything, even in terms of an audit. I offered her whatever assistance we could give because, clearly, it was in our interest to ascertain the facts surrounding the matter as well. Subsequently, when I looked for a copy of the audit report it was not forthcoming. If someone is looking for help then one clearly tries to assist him or her in that regard. I felt that did not happen in the early stages.
