Mr. Dunne, it was not just relating to what was said. The criticism from internal audit was that in the first instance a copy of the report, which should have been given in July but then was given verbally in September, was not circulated prior to that and was raised under "any other business". That, coupled with what the internal auditor is saying, leads us to believe that it was not given sufficient weight. Any other business is certainly not the place to deal with issues of that calibre. Mr. Dunne is telling us that he gave the members all the information they needed at that meeting and that they had a full picture of what was happening. That does not chime with how it was raised and what was their understanding. They were in the room.
