Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
There would not be any purpose to it. We would have had engagement and meetings in the process. From my point of view, it is important to have points made in writing because that has evidential value. It would have to be from the Accounting Officer. There have certainly been occasions where a point might be discussed because of a way it has been picked up in media reports, but that would be after the publication of a report.
