To be fair to everyone, I was upfront about saying that political charges were being made but the place to make them is in the Dáil Chamber, not the Committee of Public Accounts. We were all very clear on that. We have spent a long time on correspondence, and in an effort to move this forward, given that the Taoiseach will be before the select committee, I think that bringing in the Accounting Officers would be a good starting point but we should continue to hold the position that we may want to hear from the Taoiseach at some point. Let us first hear from the Accounting Officers, and we should be able to get a transcript of what happened in that committee. An Teachta Jonathan O'Brien is a member of both committees and there may be some value in that.
