Kieran O'Donnell: There is a need for a formal disciplinary proceeding. You all need to do it. The question is how did that happen. Mr. Clonan does not have that answered yet. To Ms O'Keeffe, I note that answer needs to be arrived at quickly by the Department on behalf of taxpayers. They are paying your salaries. They are paying our wages. We are having this meeting because of the volunteers up and down...

Kieran O'Donnell: Therefore it happened at a layer below. I would have thought that at this stage, between Mr. Clonan and the Department, some form of disciplinary action needs to take place here, to forensically find out how this happened. It is not good enough for them to come in to us and say they will take on board what the Comptroller and Auditor General is saying. I brought this up today and in...

Kieran O'Donnell: I have a final question for Mr. Clonan. The vehicles that were purchased, I think there were 17 or 18, where are they at the moment?

Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Clonan will appreciate we are going to come back to this. Furthermore, because the contract was only €160,000, obviously it was not seen as in any way a beneficial contract. Thus, only two contractors went in and by God, it was Christmastime. They suddenly had a contract that went from €160,000 up to €1.4 million. Consequently, we have to come back to it.
