I agree with the Deputy. There is no point in providing cover in advance for guys to come in here next week and stonewall us. We can read the remit in the letter for setting out the basis on which they will come forward and, as Deputy Cullinane said, following the money trail and examining the internal procedures that exist. We are dealing with the HSE but this goes back to my earlier comments regarding a range of agencies throughout the country. I concur with what Deputy Cullinane said but I do not want us to create a scenario where we are giving guys a blanket in advance before they come in and then they can just run the clock down and stonewall us with respect to what we are trying to pursue.
