Mr. Joe O'Flynn:

We have co-operated fully with the Comptroller and Auditor General in respect of his inquiries into this matter. As the Deputy says, many different bodies were involved. Several funding agencies were involved as well as the fund administrator. There was the issue of the project manager of the SKILL programme itself. We have very much relied on the professionalism of the Comptroller and Auditor General's inspection team to identify what it believed happened here. There was inappropriate behaviour. It was outside the terms and conditions that would normally apply to public moneys being granted for a particular purpose. Many lessons need to be learned by our organisation in respect of the manner in which something like this could occur without actually being recognised.
