There are obvious things. It is always useful to say that the Committee of Public Accounts can invite people in. For example, when we look for the Secretary General of a Department to come in, he or she is required to do so. We should acknowledge again that the FAI is not audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. It falls into the category of organisations that we invite in. I think it will probably determine who should be on the list of people it brings in. We can certainly ask that some former officials come in but we cannot demand that happen, and it is important people understand that is the case. It will be the same with the detail, although I think it will be useful to have the detail Deputy Dillon is looking for with regard to the payments for holidays and so on.
