We should not wait until July and we should call a meeting, if necessary, on a different day. Due process must be gone through. Very serious issues came up after a very long day. We need to look at what Mr. Barrett produced, come back and discuss it. I urge caution and we should do that as quickly as possible in the proper context of our role in this committee, bearing in mind the delays we have seen. There was a draft of a report in 2006 and reports in 2008, 2010 and 2015. Various people, including the Comptroller and Auditor General, were not aware of the issue.

I will clarify something before finishing. Yesterday in the Dáil the Taoiseach stated the Comptroller and Auditor General was still looking at this. I understand his report has been completed and it is what we are discussing. He stated there were three inspections or analyses going on, with one of those coming from the Comptroller and Auditor General. Could we have clarification on that?
