There were two meetings with Mr. McNamara and the process was getting on quickly with a deadline of 25 October for the bid. Mr. Maloney prepared a paper for the board on 2 October for the meeting on 3 October, which was held abroad. In that paper, it was quite clear Mr. Maloney was making recommendations. Conclusion 11.1 reads: “Decision - the board has authorised the executive to approach a suitable developer in line with option B, the option being that the authority selects a developer of high calibre of the joint bid.” My point is that there was a conclusion and recommendation already in the paper.
