Seán Fleming: Okay. A couple of members asked me to make a final comment to the Comptroller and Auditor General.

Seán Fleming: -----give a comment on it. I realise that if we had read the detail there was no issue but on the day people reacted quickly and they probably did not get the details beforehand. Many people jumped the gun and there were many articles about it. This is not about the accuracy of the report.

Seán Fleming: Mr. McCarthy issued a small comment with a couple of pages on the key chapters. Perhaps you could flesh them up a little. I am not asking him to produce two documents and a full summary but perhaps he could flesh it up a little. We were all probably somewhat guilty of this as well.
