Mr. Breslin is the head man, so I am asking about his sense of the organisation he controls, not just at managerial level but throughout it. We know from being in political parties that leadership comes from the top and that is reflective of the people and troops on the ground. If Mr. Breslin, as Accounting Officer, can accept that there is not a culture of openness in his organisation, can he, analysing from the here and now and not from an independent perspective but from his perspective as head of the organisation, accept there is one that seeks to suppress information and ensure it does not come to light because people are trying to protect, as Stephen Teap said? One wonders what they are trying to protect.
