Chairman, I have seen the letter as well like everyone else which has appeared very suddenly. It is quite clear in its assertion in that the author states, “I note that it is envisaged that officials of Irish Water are to be invited to attend the public meeting [of the Committee of Public Accounts]”. That is a very clear statement. I would propose that the way to resolve that is that the author of the letter - the legal adviser - would be invited to our next committee meeting and that this matter and the other issues raised around the arrival of this particular letter could be clarified for once and for all.
