I thank the witnesses for appearing before the Committee of Public Accounts today. It is regrettable and extremely unfortunate that neither Ms Kerins nor Mr. Flannery sought to appear before the committee. The message must go out loud and clear that no one person or two people are bigger than any one organisation. I ask the witnesses how they feel about the fact that neither Ms Kerins or Mr. Flannery has sought to defy the committee in terms of the damage it is doing to the organisation and the entire charities sector? How does Mr. Kerr feel about them not appearing?
