This is the first available opportunity I have had to correct something. In a radio interview, I said that the Clerk of the Dáil was the Accounting Officer. He is not the Accounting Officer for capital works. I was incorrect on that. I would like to withdraw that aspect of my request in terms of the people who we are seeking to come before us, because we should be seeking those who have responsibility. I am clear that he does not have a responsibility in this regard. I wish to make that case. This is the first available opportunity I have had to make that point.
