There was no consultation. I do not even know the name of the person but was aware that a person existed in respect of whom what I have described might have been the case. I suggest that the HSE consult this person on their time in Console. Perhaps the individual could let the Committee of Public Accounts know their view of the circumstances at the time. The person would inevitably have knowledge as to the governance or lack of it within the organisation that would supersede the best efforts of the best qualified internal audit time on the planet, particularly at a time when one is being sent to the Navan Road looking for documents, and then Lucan. Then it had to be postponed and then the HSE had to come back. Even with that, much of the information was not in the response. Did it not occur to anybody at all in the HSE that we have an inside track that we are not using?
