Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

I wish to add a comment. As Accounting Officer, I depend on Mr. Kelly and the internal audit unit. Part of the remit of internal audit is to look at emerging risks and ensure that the organisation is adequately dealing with those risks. It is part of the remit of the committee and part of my remit to ensure that areas that I, as Accounting Officer, believe need the scrutiny of Mr. Kelly and his team are addressed. I then ask for that and it is made part of his annual programme of work. He has independence in the context of where he may wish to put his resources at any given time, but if risks are emerging they need to be addressed. Since the area of procurement involves such vast amounts of money, I would expect it to form part of the annual work of any auditor. That allows internal audit to give me the reassurance that I need in the context of the timeliness, etc., with regard to these contracts.
