Mr. David Moloney:

Regarding the four examples in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General, it is clear there was ongoing and clear communication concerning three of those with the Vote teams. In the Revenue example, that came a little later than in the other three cases. There is ongoing conversation with Vote teams right across the different spending areas. In general, there is a high level of awareness, although I accept the Comptroller and Auditor General's point that in some cases the official record, the paper keeping, around sanctions was not what it could have been.
