It does not matter. I am not interested in whether the person was on holidays. Deputy Connolly made the point very clearly earlier. The fact is, when the chairman was missing the committee did not do anything for nearly three years. Against the backdrop of the letter Mr. Fraser sent to the committee last week, that is a problem. Like Deputy Murphy I take the view that, leaving aside the Constitution, all public money should be subject to scrutiny.

In terms of the expertise of the people on the audit committee, are they accountants?
