It would be great to clarify that.

The next line of questioning I want to move on to is on Mr. Tubridy. Unfortunately, during Mr. Tubridy's committee appearance on Tuesday, it was very difficult for us to have a full understanding of the situation, and this was primarily to do with the documentation that was released at very short notice. Some of the documentation in that actually vindicated, in some degree or fashion, Mr. Tubridy's position in terms of him being scapegoated. There were obviously more people within the executive board who were aware than what was originally provided here in the original line of questioning.

I want to say to Mr. Lynch today that I am a little bit bothered by the lack ... of how unforthcoming he and his colleagues were at the first Committee of Public Accounts meeting, when these questions were put. Now we see that there are members of the executive board who were actually tagged in emails. Did Mr. Lynch see those emails before the first meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts?
