This goes to the heart of the problem. It is a view of Mr. Barrett, but every single time that somebody flags that something should be done, that there are either compromised accounts, or that the Comptroller and Auditor General should be informed, or that the Department of Justice and Equality should be informed, and it is not done, people point to somebody else. I am putting it to Mr. Dunne that Mr. Barrett presented him with a report, and Mr. Dunne is the chief administration officer, and he is well-paid to do his job - as we heard this morning - and he has responsibilities in his role. He was made aware by the head of human resources that, in his view, accounts were potentially compromised. Is Mr. Dunne aware of the Garda Síochána Act 2005? When he was in his role, he would obviously have understood-----
