Dr. Geraldine Smith:
Regarding the report, my last correspondence was seeking information from SIPTU. This correspondence went on from approximately September 2009 to November 2009. The report issued in June 2010 and during that time it had been dealing with Mr. Merrigan and his accountant, Mahon and Company. The report is an internal audit report and was presented to the HSE internal management. It included all the correspondence and deliberations with SIPTU, so my relationship is with HSE senior management and the board. At that stage the report was probably released to them but it would not have come through the normal processes. We would have presented it to our management team and the board.
