Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin:
The answer is that it was a catastrophic failure of governance. My predecessor examined this and he determined that this was in effect the case. I am only in office a year. I do not think there would be any point in me re-investigating these matters as they have been dealt with. I am not happy with the governance arrangements in place. I assure the Deputy that I will take steps to ensure there is no recurrence. That is as far as I can go.
