With the agreement of those present, I ask the clerk that, when completed, the transcript of this hearing be sent to all the relevant agencies in order that the witnesses can look through them and respond to the questions in respect of which detailed answers were not provided today. Alternatively, witnesses may wish to provide the committee with more detail or information than was in the answers that were provided. I also suggest that the committee send the transcript directly to the relevant Ministers in order that they can see what transpired at this hearing.

The main issue raised by the members is the need for some mechanism to pay the subcontractors. That came across absolutely clearly. That is what they want to achieve. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is the line Department for the Comptroller and Auditor General. Is that correct?
