Mr. Lar Bradshaw:

The Deputy does not need to wait for 20 October. By 3 October, it should be clear from the paper to the board that the numbers under discussion were substantially higher than €220 million. I hear the Deputy's question, but I do not know why the chief executive wrote the letter like that. I do not doubt that Mr. Maloney will be able to explain to the committee why he wrote it that way. I do not think that was a correct approach. He should have said that, for the avoidance of doubt, the number under discussion was considerably higher. My personal view is that the letter should not have included the number, as we were in a sealed tender bid situation, but that sentence in the letter is misleading.
