I have one final question on the Limerick project. In my experience, solicitors do not write letters and project managers do not prepare letters unless they believe those letters or their advice is sought. Therefore, Mr. Neilan's solicitors must have presumed or heard from him that he wanted to include or was considering including this condition in the contract. Equally, presumably the project manager, in his or her professional opinion thought it prudent to include it or thought that Mr. Neilan, as the boss, wanted this draft agreement to be drawn up. I find it hard to believe or fathom that Mr. Neilan did not view this as part of the deal while his solicitors were drawing up conditions to make it part of it.
