I thank Mr. O'Brien and his team for attending. I want to say at the outset that my thoughts today are with the staff of Console and, more important, with the 6,000 people who use the service each year. Some two dozen calls will come through to those lines today, responsibility for which has now been taken over by Pieta House. I wish everyone associated with those services the very best.

Reflecting on the Comptroller and Auditor General's comments on the audit system some moments ago, it is stated in the report that funded organisations have a duty of candour to their funders, in this case the HSE, and that the audit identified that there were three different versions of each year's accounts, one version given to the HSE, one given to the National Office of Suicide Prevention, NOSP, and two versions given to the CRO. Considering that these audited financial statements are there to tell the full financial story of the business, does Mr. O'Brien feel duped by the versions that were issued to him?
