I ask Mr. McCarthy to explain the appropriation account, which used the phrase "legally enforceable commitments to be met in subsequent years in relation to the St. Patrick's Drumcondra development of €32.405 million". Who had the legally enforceable commitment if the contractor had gone bust? How could he legally enforce a commitment if he had ceased trading?
