Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Yes, I agree. That happened in September 2021. I certainly was not aware of it. I do not believe HRI was aware of it at the time. It did not sanction it. The IHRB's position was that the top-up did not derive from public funds but from its own private funding. This is a little bit of a circular argument.
