That one person has been appointed to the Housing Finance Agency by the Minister since that finding was made. I have a question for Mr. Doyle on what he said to me. As Secretary General, does he advise the Minister in any shape or form on appointments such as this? He had said that all senior officials should be of the highest integrity and should be trustworthy and honest. This poor chief executive has a very damning SIPO finding, bearing in mind that SIPO carries out investigations on just 3% of complaints. He has been appointed to a board that administers a €5 billion budget. Has the Secretary General anything to say about that?
