I ask Mr. McCarthy to give us a note on the the right of access because many people felt that this body did not have access under section 38 and section 39 agreements in the past. If the Comptroller and Auditor General does have access it is within the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts to go there. If he goes there, we can go there. I am asking for a note because there has been a certain view generally. It looks as if he can reach into several organisations if he chooses and feels there is a need to do so. Does he know how many service level agreements give his office this right of access? Would he be made aware of each and every one of these as they arise?
