That is a matter for the Garda. Let us be clear. The Comptroller and Auditor General produced this report. In normal circumstances we would look at this situation. In the interim the matter has been referred to the Garda. One could make the case that we should not be discussing the matter because it is before the Garda, but we decided to discuss the matter within very limited strictures. In fact no one in this room can say what is or what is not being investigated by the Garda and we cannot presume anything. Some of the questions being asked at the committee today will not be answered today or should not be answered today. It will be up to the Garda to deal with the matter in due course. Some of the questions cannot and should not be answered today. I have to be strict on that point.
