Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I do not think I would be in a position now to look at how they acted in 2011. I only have powers to carry out an audit or a value for money examination. The focus of work I would do now would be regarding what is happening now or what happened in the recent past. This is a hypothetical rather than in relation to Waterford Institute of Technology. If we were to find an audit committee in a current year we were examining was not active or was producing poor quality recommendations to the college, we might look back to see if there was a pattern of that or when it had commenced. It would always be grounded in what was happening currently in the governance of the organisation.

I do not know if that answers the Deputy’s question.
