One letter is fine, and Ms Campion said the cost was €5,400 overall. In the round, irrespective of the amount of money and the way in which things were done, coupled with the issues concerning fleet management or the lack thereof and other issues we are discussing today, it points to either a laissez-faireapproach within the organisations to items or indeed something more sinister than that. Mr. O'Donnell can appreciate why we, as members of the Committee of Public Accounts, would be very interested in various issues that have arisen, not only at board level but also in respect of the management of various items within the organisation. From where I am sitting, I believe that the overall management of the organisation, which ultimately stops with Mr. O'Donnell as chief executive, points to a litany of issues. As I said at the outset, we would prefer to discuss the external challenges the organisation faces rather than the internal ones, but we are discussing quite a few internal issues today. Would Mr. O'Donnell agree?
