As I said earlier, that was very much rooted in the future tense, as in "it will now present a report" or "it will report", so it was the future tense. At the point of the Committee of Public Accounts meeting, it was two days after Mr. Collins had left, or that it was announced that he had left RTÉ. There was no reason to believe anything other than that the DG had made that decision.
