Mr. Sean Quigley:

We have said from the outset that we have no difficulty with the Comptroller and Auditor General auditing these funds. The problem we have is that the legislation, as it currently stands, does not allow for that. That is the 1993 Comptroller and Auditor General legislation. It is a matter for the Department of Justice and Equality to progress that legislation, but we have absolutely no problem. In the meantime, in the absence of that independent audit, we have put in our own audit arrangements. We have published financial statements.
