Mr. Martin Fraser:
I agree with that. I think probably the issue here was that this was the first time there had ever been an audit committee in Áras an Uachtaráin. If we had an audit committee on an ongoing basis, it might have been in the swing of things. We did appoint a respected person to be chair but, unfortunately, he was indisposed. I made a judgment that it was not appropriate to pursue it.
