To go back to the Accounting Officer's reporting obligations, there is no formal requirement set out under the PFP for an Accounting Officer to inform the Comptroller and Auditor General of significant matters of concern. There is, however, an expectation and established practice that significant matters be communicated to the auditors at the earliest opportunity. Earlier, Ms O'Sullivan said there were very clear and significant issues, in her view, and that is why she set up a working group. In hindsight, does she think the Tánaiste and the Department of Justice and Equality should have been made aware of that at the time?
