I do not and it is a matter of how we want to structure this. There is a two-page letter from this man which has some pretty amazing allegations. They need to be teased out. We also need to ask him about other documentation. It is fair to say the justification for Mr. Kiely's extraordinary lump sum was based on a false premise and the accounts were not recorded honestly. I am not surprised people would not admit that they were aware of certain facts, considering what Mr. O'Brien stated at the end of the last session, which is that An Garda Síochána may be contacted with regard to potential criminal prosecutions in this case. It is absolutely critical that the interim administrator be asked to come before the committee if he is the person central to the examination of these matters.
