Mr. Brendan Rogers:

I commend the Ugandan Auditor General as a person of high calibre. He has visited Ireland and we have been working with his office for a number of years. As a result of a visit by a delegation of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, we gave additional funding to the Ugandan Auditor General. This funding helped him to discover the fraud. It was eventually uncovered by our own departmental system. However, the Ugandan Auditor General was ahead of the posse, so to speak, as a result of his forensic audit.
