Mr. Barry O'Brien:

Mr. Cregan's report clearly states that the additional sums, the €473,336, were paid by the CRC in Mr. Kiely's final payment in June 2013. He also says that about the time of this final payment an amount of €700,000 in two instalments of €450,000 and €250,000 was paid by the Friends and Supporters of the CRC, that it was described in the draft internal accounts as a donation. He goes on further to say that the payments to Mr.Kiely could not have been made by the CRC if the €700,000 had not been received from the Friends and Supporters of the CRC.
