Alan Kelly: I disagree. In fact, I believe that in order to provide the information we require here which is quite detailed, Mr. Healy is obviously the person who is in possession of the knowledge and the person who is in possession of the knowledge should be sitting with the chief executive.

- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)
Alan Kelly: I will move on because that is splitting hairs. It was necessary for Mr. Healy to be here. I think most of those present believe that.

That is fair enough. There is no doubt in acknowledging that. ...

Alan Kelly: Fine. Was the amendment Mr. O'Brien had to make to the statement given to us last night another honest mistake?
- Public Accounts Committee: Correction of Record of Meeting of 2 February 2016 (23 Mar 2017)

Alan Kelly: Mr. O'Brien did. As part of that process, obviously, there is a review taking place. It is being conducted by a very credible agency for a long period. It is quite incredible that it is taking this length of time. Has Mr. O'Brien received a draft report from Deloitte?
