Mr. Tony O'Brien:
I have no doubt that if the Secretary General had been invited he would have been here, but as the deputy Secretary General has shown, and the Chairman has agreed, he was not invited. So I do not think it is appropriate to criticise him for not being here when he was not invited, because I have no doubt he would have come.
To go back to the central point, however, the issues that have been well documented in the internal audit report were failings within the organisation.
