I thank the Minister of State for his reply and I note his comments. It is not news to me that the Minister, having given detailed consideration to matters raised by the correspondent, determined that an investigation was not warranted at this stage. I trust, however, that once the Comptroller and Auditor General's report is published and if it is deemed necessary, or if certain facts are brought to further light, the Minister will be willing to reflect on the need to have a more detailed investigation. I trust the Minister of State will be able to confirm that the Minister, Deputy O'Sullivan, will have a open mind on that because until such time as the report is published by the Comptroller and Auditor General, we will not be able to make any significant determination.
