I will try to help Mr. O'Brien, because I am not theorising or giving vent to my idiosyncratic suspicions. I am looking at a memorandum to Geoff Day, director, National Office for Suicide Prevention from a Declan Behan, SEO in the National Office for Suicide Prevention. It is dated 1 February 2009 and it sets out a review of documentation going back to 2004 and raises very serious concerns in terms of the accounts, governance and identifying risks. My problem, in the limited time available to me today, is that there is a paper trail and that trail shows explicitly that there is a problem here. It is said not once, but repeatedly, yet the system looked the other way. That is the nub of the problem.
