We discussed that at our last meeting. The advice we have received through our clerk is that we have no role in respect of the auditors or accountants. I appreciate that the Senator might not have been present at the time, but I raised the matter at the meeting. I contacted the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority, IAASA, and made a written submission to it asking it to examine all aspects of the Deloitte audit. I received an acknowledgement, which I circulated to members. I wrote to the authority as a Deputy, but it replied to me as Chairman of the committee. Everyone has a copy of it, and it might be helpful for the Senator.
