I will move on because that is splitting hairs. It was necessary for Mr. Healy to be here. I think most of those present believe that.

In fairness, Mr. Healy, working through Mr. O'Brien, accepted responsibility for the fact that information came out that was inaccurate and that needed to be corrected. We all know that. That is fair enough. There is no doubt in acknowledging that.

I am sticking strictly to the evidence. As a result of the evidence which was given here and the evidence given by Mr. O'Brien in a subsequent letter which was subsequently amended, has Mr. O'Brien confidence that the information - I will narrow it down - being provided to him by this HSE division has always been given to him in an accurate fashion at the time at which it was given? I am not getting into the terms of the investigation. I am asking a deliberate question because this is the Committee of Public Accounts. This is about the linear consistency of information being given to Mr. O'Brien. That is what I am asking about, not the actual information.
