I agree with Deputy Alan Kelly that all financial aspects of this matter, including tender documents and contracts, could be dealt with at this committee and that issues of governance and accountability could be dealt with through the health committee. Like Deputy Alan Kelly, I am a member of both committees. There are serious issues with the tender documents. As Deputy Alan Kelly said, they have been shredded. I am not sure we will receive them from laboratories that did not receive contracts. Why would they give them to us? In addition to the lack of contracts, there is the lack of a paper trail showing how things were done. That is the job of this committee rather than the health committee.
