What I said was very clear. I said the document in front of us, signed on 31 March 2016 by Nóirín O'Sullivan and which included the paragraph in question, did not include the reference to the auditor. That was added subsequently by the Comptroller and Auditor General. He recommended that it was a function of the Accounting Officer to add this. The paragraph was added in September, even though the document is dated in March.
