Reference was made to organisational culture. Mr. Kelly had said in his report - under chronology three - that on Wednesday, June 17 there was a staff meeting of the CAO. He said:

I raised my concerns about the management of the college given what I learned at my meeting there the previous Thursday ... [and that] the Commissioner and all attendees [should be ] very concerned about any poor performance around governance, finance and maladministration ... Michael Culhane pointed out that it was felt that these matters were best kept away from internal audit and would be very serious if they were to come into the view of the controller [sic] and auditor general.

Now, that is serious and it is here in writing in black and white; "Michael Culhane pointed out ..." . Can Mr. Culhane answer that?
