-----are appropriate. The established facts are never going to change. The facts are the facts and they have to be made public at some point, because that is what public accountability involves. That is my point.
I have very real concerns about the way I, as a member of this committee, was treated. I want to put them those concerns to Mr. Ó Foghlú and Dr. Love. Mr. Ó Foghlú can answer my questions because they do not relate to the actual report. The accountable person who appeared before the Committee of Public Accounts last year said to me outside this committee room - in a very robust way, if I can say that - that if I continued to ask the questions I was asking, he would resign from the institute. Does Dr. Love think it is acceptable for an accountable person to do that?
