That 2006 report was incomplete but it was not until 2008 that a report was completed by the finance directorate which concluded as follows: "Our examination and review have uncovered discrepancies in compliance ... and exposes the organisation to substantial risk in terms of internal controls". The issue has been highlighted and a report was prepared stating there was substantial risk to the organisation, to the corporate body. What was done then? The 2008 report was not forwarded to the Garda internal audit section and was only discovered as part of the more recent audit by the internal audit unit. In that context, my question is who authored the 2008? Is that person in the room?
