Mr. Barry O'Brien:

With respect, I am a public servant of 37 years' standing. I am quite proud of my public service record. I wish to state clearly that we were over five and a half hours at the last PAC meeting and we were afforded a ten-minute break. We answered every question to the best of our ability. What we are discovering this morning is that Deputy McDonald is telling me that it would have been appropriate for me to question the audited accounts of a separate statutory organisation, that is, the Mater Hospital, by hearsay and suggest a statement made may not be correct and that I thought the word "fee" was wrong. Deputy Ross has just placed it on record that the audited accounts of the Mater need to be factually corrected.
