I point out to Ms Barry that the head of human resources at An Garda Síochána is saying that accounts were signed off on that were potentially compromised. I have already questioned acting Commissioner Ó Cualáin over his responsibility as an Accounting Officer. It is unfortunate that we do not have the Accounting Officer from the Department here today but Ms Barry can certainly speak for the Department. If it is the case that such accounts were signed off by predecessors of the current Secretary General, then this would obviously be very serious. What has the Department done to establish whether or not those accounts were compromised at any time?
