I am sorry; we have just been told that UL was preparing for the previous meeting of the Committee of Public Account last year and Professor Laffan became aware of it at that stage. That is the timeline we are talking about. We had the former chancellor sitting exactly where Professor Laffan is sitting last year. She must have been aware of Rhebogue at that stage. Surely, Professor Laffan would have asked if there were issues she should be made aware of that would have the potential to do reputational damage in the same way as Dunnes Stores.
