That specific information is important for this committee to draw a connection as to whether the Department had awareness of this. I respect that the representatives here are not long in the Department in some cases and there is no inference involving them at all. They cannot have complete knowledge of what happened before their arrival. The information would be helpful to this committee as there are some questions we must ask. We have the information from 2006 and the 2008 report, and that is probably the first time the issues were encapsulated. We also have the 2010 report. From evidence today we find these reports went to a certain level in An Garda Síochána but never made it to the internal auditor. Is that a fair summary? If anybody has a contradiction, they should speak up now.
