At no stage, going through 2013, 2014 or 2015, was it highlighted that it was not working properly. I am thinking in the context of the Garda, the education and training boards and the other organisations we have had before us. We were very hard on them in respect of processes and procedures. The first time I see anything about an audit committee is in Mr. Fraser's 2016 appropriation account. Does he see where I am coming from? There is not an open and accountable system. One thing is being said on paper but the operation of that is not happening on the ground. Is that not right? If this is happening with the President's Establishment, regardless of who the President is, we are not giving out a proper message here on accountability, are we?
