I would be of the opinion that the Cathaoirleach's office is in a stronger position to do that. It is the appropriate office and it can do a huge amount. I would not hide my light under a bushel if I were him. He can be effective and his office has an influential role to play. It is the appropriate office to adjudicate on current issues, whereas the role of the Comptroller and Auditor is retrospective in nature.

I am sorry, but we will not agree about that matter.
