Something has occurred. The witness says he read the interim audit report. He will be aware a reference was made to the transfer of this €100,000 to the boat club. We have not established exactly where that money came from and it is possible it could have come from voted expenditure. It was in an account with a mix of different revenue streams so this happened on the watch of the Department when its Secretary General would have been the chief Accounting Officer. When the Department was made aware that this happened, what action did the Department take?
