Mr. Bradshaw has answered the question for me. I want to knit together earlier testimony to the committee, including that of Ms Mary Moylan, regarding the nature of the relationship between the board and the then Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. A letter supplied to the committee by Ms Moylan at one of our previous meetings is dated 12 October 2012. It is from Mr. Paul Maloney to Ms Moylan. Could we provide Mr. Bradshaw with a copy of the letter?

In the section on the proposed bid, found on the second page, the first sentence states that the extent of the capital commitment necessary to be paid by the authority and its development partner in the event of a bid being made for the joint site was estimated to be in the region of €220 million. The chief executive wrote to the Department on 12 October and cited a figure of €220 million, but reference was made to €375 million at a meeting on 20 October, a variance of €155 million. Will Mr. Bradshaw explain the gap?
