The use of a barter account is something that is the norm. It is how it was operated that is highly problematic. I agree with the Deputy that the recommendations definitely have to be watertight. They need to be robust if they are to remain in place. We, the Oireachtas, have to have full confidence, and the public has to regain full confidence, so it must be clear that if the barter account remains in place, that we have trust in it. That is why governance goes to the very heart of this, and there is abysmal failing.
