Is there something to go back to when the agency comes back to us? I reckon there is something more to look at before it comes back to us. It appears that there is a parallel arrangement. The agency has no idea or appears not to have been aware that the remainder of Enet was being purchased or that contracts were being extended when it was considering purchase of it. There is potentially public money at stake. For two arms of the State not to know that there is something happening shows that we are in a kind of silo. The problem is that the public purse comes a cropper in such an environment if those responsible do not know that something is going on. I am not suggesting they should know the detail, but they should certainly know that something is happening.
