Mr. Joe O'Flynn:

I already have explained that SIPTU neither owned nor commissioned the Grant Thornton report. It was commissioned, as I understand it, by the legal representatives of the fund administrator. Consequently, the fund administrator effectively is the owner of the report. I have explained already the only reason SIPTU paid for it was because we wished to have sight of it in order that we could try to verify, in so far as possible, the factual detail relating to the income and expenditure. Moreover, we were able to do that. I still am of the view, which I repeat, there is no reason that sight of this report should not be given to the Comptroller and Auditor General.
