I thank Mr. Ó Foghlú and his colleagues for attending. It is always encouraging when the Comptroller and Auditor General furnishes the committee with a clear audit opinion. I seek elaboration on a few matters. In the context of the capital review, what needs does the Department have? I refer specifically to whether there is any scope for innovative finance mechanisms in terms of the European Investment Bank or public private partnerships.
