I thank Mr. Gloster for that clarity but Tusla has been in existence since 2014. I cannot say I would excuse the procurement improvement in non-compliance in the same way at all. There are a significant number of localised agencies that Tusla deals with in relation to one thing or another and several service providers and bodies provide health and personal social services on its behalf. Mr. Gloster himself has said there is a control weakness and that it has been actively addressed. On that basis, is Tusla solely reliant on the HSE for the internal audit function, or does it have the capacity to carry out its own internal audits? I would like a binary answer, please - "Yes" or "No".
