It stretches credibility that, as CEO, Mr. Conlan was not aware of these payments coming up. To me it is very simple, our job as a committee concerns public moneys and moneys collected by the public. A sum of €700,000 that should have gone to front-line services was transferred from one company, the Friends and Supporters of the CRC, to the main company, CRC, and classified as a donation – it was some donation – which would have been fine if it had been used for front-line services. Would Mr. Conlan reflect on what I have asked him - does he think it is credible that he was not aware of these payments? Does he think that is credible?
