Let me confirm to her that when I spoke to the Minister, Deputy Bruton, he briefed me on the reasons for the delay in the sending of the witness statement to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation. As I am not a member of the Committee of Public Accounts I have not read the detailed dossier, nor have I been briefed on its contents. Deputy McDonald is aware that the fraud squad investigation will follow through on the witness statement, in respect of which all the documentation has already been sent some time ago to the various entities over the years. The Committee of Public Accounts has been given the documentation and the dossier and it has sought legal advice on it. The PAC is one committee of the House that has always acted independently.
