I have not seen that tweet. By way of public information, I want to state that this is highly frustrating. The public are watching this. I am on public record for the last fortnight stating that Mr. Quinn was coming before this committee today. We had understood that and had issued the invitation to the Secretary General as the Accounting Officer. We had also named Mr. Paul Quinn. There has never been a situation, that I can recall, where a named senior official requested to come before this committee has not appeared. We are in very strange territory. It was discourteous to this committee for the person not to be here and also to only hear about this late last night.
