That is not the question I asked. I know there is an audit committee and that such a committee is required under the code of governance. Given that he knew for five years that there were no certified accounts, there are obviously problems in the institution. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Did anybody in the HEA, which over this timeframe pumped €100 million into the college, think it necessary to ask whether the audit committee had met?
