We did not. I suppose we got that report from the Commissioner. It did not raise any issues in relation to the college as such. We then got a copy of Mr. Ruane's request for legal advice. Again that raised some issues. We were pursuing them. The Department was fully seized of them. We engaged with Garda management on them. We were keen they would be brought to the attention of the Garda audit committee. We agreed to a representative being on the steering committee. We would have then had visibility of what was happening, up to the audit starting in 2016 and would have had continuing visibility of that until we got the draft audit report, which we did bring to the Tánaiste's attention because it was the draft audit-----
