Alan Kelly: It is. To be fair, I know Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin was not at the meeting.

However, the witness was at the meeting of the audit committee and he was aware of Mr. McGee's report - we call it that - and he was aware of what Mr. Barrett had brought to his attention, yet he did not feel it necessary to go into detail at that meeting. The Fennelly interim report has been produced but it...
