I acknowledge that, but I feel it is being used as a defence. Mr. O'Brien can say the service cost X and that the HSE provided Y, but that does not address the core of my question. In the light of the level of detail into which the internal audit has gone - I am not going to refer to specific individual expenditure items - does Mr. O'Brien not have any sense whatsoever that there is a correlation between the public funds allocated to Console and the obvious items of expenditure that did not relate to the provision of the services for which Console was given funding?
