Josepha Madigan: I understand the steps Mr. Raleigh is trying to outline but that does not answer the question. I wonder whether legal advice was taken at that time by the HSE with regard to stopping all funding to Console on the basis that there were grave concerns.

Josepha Madigan: -----an issue clearly arises and that she will not be in a position now to accept accounts from external accountants? How many more do we know of? Is it correct that the HSE has other charities audited and it has not published the accounts?
