Mr. Graham Doyle:

On compliance for procurement, which the Comptroller and Auditor General audits, we generally have had very strong compliance around procurement. This is not to say there has not been an issue raised on occasion. This Department is vast, as I know the Deputy understands. The number of engagements we have and people have on our behalf really is vast. Our record in procurement has been strong in terms of audit and that is what the audit is there for. Genuinely, I was not aware of that response to the parliamentary questions but I can understand it. I would say to the Deputy that it was not given lightly or in any flippant way.
