That is not in dispute. The question is that the Comptroller and Auditor General was conducting an audit of the Kildare and Wicklow ETB and he chose to go outside of that relationship to a third party, the Department of Education and Skills, in relation to an audit that was ongoing.

That is my question. I know the Department has a right, but is it normal when conducting an audit of an organisation to go to a third party via the Department if there is a difficulty? Did Mr. McCarthy go to SOLAS as well?
