I thank the Chair for his clarification. I did issue a cautionary word this morning in regard to this. These are the most serious issues that have arisen from the report that we discussed last week. I do not think that we should make statements, as Chairman or otherwise, or even in the media, in regard to this. There is a process under way and we should give it our full attention. We do that 99% of the time. We are here to look at value for money, the history of why it was not picked up sooner, the total mess that was made of it - which we will come back to - and our job is to get the Commissioner and the appropriate witnesses back in here as soon as possible.

The real issue which remains unchanged is that when the report of accounts was produced in March there was no caveat on it. Is that correct?
