I will go through one or two issues with Mr. Kelly and Mr. Culhane. We have referred several times to Mr. Culhane's letter to Mr. Kelly dated 20 February concerning the internal audit report. I draw attention to something else Mr. Culhane said a moment ago. The letter included various complaints to Mr. Kelly, one of which related to offshore bank accounts, which we have clarified do not exist. There may have been a reference to them but we are satisfied that there is no evidence that they exist.

Point 2 of the letter is as follows.

In front of junior staff in the Finance Section you stated on the phone that what was going on in the College was comparable to what had gone on in the charity, Console. Your indiscretions are a source of concern.

Did Mr. Kelly make a comparison with Console?
