There were lots and that is what the report said. The difficulty I have is that if we have a scandal such as this, which is examined a number of times and is subject to hearings of Oireachtas committees, and it is found that failings and human error or worse were part of it but the Accounting Officer or person in charge decides not to take action against any individual because it might be divisive, what is to stop something similar happening again? Notwithstanding the process changes which the witness says can be made, the problem here is that there was also human error. I welcome the fact that the process can be tightened up. I hope it will not happen again. The problem is - and we have this over and over again - that if no sanctions are ever taken against an individual then nobody is held to account.
