-----not least because it was his job to do it. He is not getting it and he is all around the houses for a period of years. Of course, he could not verify what was going on in the college because he does not have the basis to do it. There are memoranda and communications flying left, right and centre. What strikes me is that while all these little diversionary skirmishes are taking place, the facts are not got at. I have a terrible suspicion, and I do not wish to say it was an orchestrated thing, that not just were people blocking and diverting but that others were perhaps looking the other way. Will Mr. Kelly, as the head of audit, reassure me that he at no stage looked the other way and that he genuinely pursued the full facts of what was going on with determination?
