One issue arises, but we may not be able to get the answer today. I understand Deloitte was obliged to tell the FAI when it assumed there were issues with its keeping of accounts. It then had up to seven days to tell the Director of Corporate Enforcement. Both we and the Minister need to know when Deloitte told the FAI. When did it form that opinion? While I am not saying it has happened, it could be the case that in the meetings we had it already knew that this was going on. Why did it not tell the Minister last night? It does not make sense.
