If we are going to hold it over, perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General could do a note for us for the next meeting. The Secretary General has now given an instruction that the post reviews be published and we should welcome that because that is a positive that came from our hearings and putting a spotlight on it. In respect of the post-project reviews, does Mr. McCarthy know now who carries them out, are they internal to the organisation and what are the framing criteria for the reviews? Are benchmarks set initially and then checked to see if they have been met? Has there been any comparison with the post-project reviews in this State and how they are carried out internationally? It is all very well to have post-project reviews but if they are internal, they may do what we want them to do or they may not; we do not know because we have not seen them before. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy has seen them. It is important for us to have some sort of background note on it before we start reading them all.
