This is a question for the committee and also the public. It is very important, in the context of what has happened in this country in the past five or six years, that these bodies must be accountable to the Oireachtas. We must insist upon our mandate with regard to the appearance or non-appearance of representatives of State bodies. To use the Comptroller and Auditor General as a trapdoor is unwise of the Central Bank.
