Mr. Sean Quigley:

As we would see it, the audit is around the infrastructure that is put in place to manage the funds, and to look at value-for-money issues and control issues. There would be a constraint around looking at a decision of the judge in determining the award. Obviously that would be outside the remit. We do this job to the best of our ability.

We have nothing to hide and would welcome the Comptroller and Auditor General's involvement once the legislation provides for that.
