We have heard directly from the Comptroller and Auditor General that he feels he should have been notified long before this. He also told us that, given the information provided to her in July, he would have expected the Commissioner, who was then Accounting Officer and aware of the issues, to notify him in this letter. Ms O'Sullivan did not do so and that is a huge contradiction for us, as a committee. She is now informing us that if she was aware then of what she knows now, she would have put the information in the letter.
