At the meeting on 23 October at 8.30 p.m., Mr. Bradshaw learned that Anglo Irish Bank and Bank of Ireland would now be funding the project. Was it not known before then? Did no one even suggest that Mr. McNamara was in negotiations with the two banks rather than any other bank or Ulster Bank, as Mr. Bradshaw mentioned? They were all in the banks. Two members of the authority were in the same bank.
