The Comptroller and Auditor General has explained why he cannot give an opinion on that, but he has stated previously that he felt that he should have been told in 2008, 2010, etc. The Commissioner was well aware, before this letter was sent, of issues relating to the Garda College. Mr. Barrett's report, which was then followed up by Mr. Ruane's legal letter, which we will not see, and then the report from Assistant Commissioner Ó Cuálain on 28 July all preceded the letter in question. Does the Comptroller and Auditor General feel that it would have been appropriate, given that there was a new Accounting Officer in place who has given evidence that she was made aware of these issues on 27 July, that she, as Accounting Officer, should have told his office about these issues?
