Mr. Joe O'Flynn:

Yes, and that is fair, but we were very limited in terms of what we could say other than the facts. The facts, as I have outlined, are the facts and from the outset we have said here that this was not our account. The money was not destined for us and we had no control or accountability whatsoever for it, but it did make it very difficult for us. There was quite an amount of damage done to the reputation of our organisation which I hope the publication of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report will help undo or at least verify and clarify the role of SIPTU in regard to this matter over the period involved.
