Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I think that is a policy matter but certainly I agree with the point the Deputy made about an increased focus on it and increased attention being given to it. There is a capacity problem in organisations to produce financial statements or to produce complete explanations and that is something which has deteriorated in the last few years.
