Like my good colleague, Deputy Aylward, I find today to be a pretty incredible meeting for many different reasons. Four hours later we have not really got anywhere. I want to talk a little about that. Trying to get to the bottom of what is going on here is like pulling teeth. We have a duty to do so. In his role as CEO, as the accounting manager or officer or whatever phrase is used now, considering the change in role of the Department of Health, does Mr. O'Brien accept that he is responsible for ensuring that all public moneys are spent appropriately and must in general do everything he can to ensure that happens?
