It is amazing. All I am hearing here is an arse-covering exercise. If the same due diligence had been applied to the process as is now being employed to preventing this committee from receiving reports, when the committee is trying to establish value for money and the appropriate expenditure of taxpayers' money, we would not be discussing this. It is an arse-covering exercise, full stop. That is what it is. That is what is going on here. We have sight of a KPMG report and have looked at it within the confines of the stipulations laid down by the university, which is absolutely ridiculous, given that this is the Committee of Public Accounts. It is not Mr. Kelly's first outing, as I have said. Did our guests receive communications training for today? Did they receive media training?
