Seán Fleming: More information arrived this morning. We are down to a shortlist but we will specifically deal with the information requested. If this committee did not receive the full level of co-operation expected then that in itself will be an issue in our final report. I am putting that on the record here now.

I do not expect that we will be able to include this as part of an appendix to a published report of the Committee of Public Accounts. We will have to discuss this. We...

If something happens or we get useful information, we are...
