Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
It was possible to identify the amount of the payments involved in respect of those individuals. The only other information we had was the name on the cheque; we did not have any contact details or anything else. We could not write to people because there were no addresses. The first thing to be done, therefore, was to identify the individuals in question. SIPTU was able to determine the potential identity of 40 out of the 56 payees, all of whom it contacted to ask whether we could write to them seeking confirmation that they had received the payment in question. Only 11 agreed to do so, each of whom confirmed the payment details as stated.
