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

Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

In the case of Mr. Fannin, I accept the judge's conclusions completely. I explained the context in respect of the conclusion that our witness was difficult. The judge concluded that our approach was heavy-handed. My difficulty with that conclusion, although I fully accept it, is that it is not clear from the judge's comments precisely what she was referring to. I have looked at the text to try to determine that.
