Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

We were carrying out the audit of the 2007 financial statements, that was after the transition had occurred between one Department and the other. It was in the process of handover that the thing fell apart. There were obviously ongoing issues that had not been picked up in previous years, like a property sale going back to 1993 which would be very difficult.
