Just to conclude on this point, I thought what happened last week was extraordinary because so many items within an audit were ignored. I am not talking about Mr. McCarthy's audit, but their audit in fisheries. Leases were not being put in place and money was not being collected - the basic management of all the harbours. Last week, I asked them to give us a copy of their internal audits because they said they had them. Would those internal audits have shown up the issues we discussed last week?
