I welcome deputy First Minister, Mr. McGuinness. It is a right mouthful to say it but he is very welcome. I am not here to pointscore, to be political or to refer to Sinn Féin. I am here because we have a Comptroller and Auditor General’s report. I thank Mr. McGuinness for coming here and facing us. In his presentation he said that at the heart of this issue are the allegations made by Deputy Wallace but that is not actually correct for today. We are here because of concerns raised in this report, not allegations, concerns, factually set out. If Mr. McGuinness can be of assistance in regard to that it would be very helpful, if not, so be it. In that report there are five chapters and I have asked every single witness have they read the report.
