That is exactly the point I am coming to. We have the Taoiseach, the Minister and officials. Arising from all of that, and we know the scale of the money, the C&AG did a special report, which we are now discussing. As part of that report last year he would have to-ed and fro-ed to Mr. Ó Foghlú with his recommendations and Mr. Ó Foghlú's responses to those recommendations are in there.

How could Mr. Ó Foghlú have responded to the Comptroller and Auditor General properly if he is now telling us he has not even seen the minutes of this meeting between the Government and the religious institution? How could he have properly responded to this report? How could he possibly come in here today knowing a key item for discussion was the second offer being made by the religious institution after the Ryan report and say he knows there was a meeting but has not seen the minutes?
