Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine

10:00 am

Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

Maybe I can have a few minutes on this point, because it is important. I am not in any way dismissive of the comments of Judge Reynolds. They are important comments. I fully take them on board and I do not contest them in any way. In referring to the brucellosis I was trying to give the Deputy an understanding of why the case fell. As well as knowing that it fell, it is also important to know why the case fell.
