I am quite astonished at the scant information we received. We have been waiting nigh on two weeks for this information. It is not necessarily informed by the fact Rehab officials could not locate the information; it is more informed by them finding the best way to present it to minimise the damage done to the organisation.

I wish to move onto the consultancy work Mr. Flannery did for the organisation. I stated here two weeks ago, and have repeated it since, that any remuneration for company directors associated with Rehab is expressly prohibited by a provision under the organisation's memorandum and articles of understanding. According to media reports in recent days, Mr. Flannery was paid for this work through a UK subsidiary or associated organisation of Rehab. It is important for completeness, and to assist in our discussion with Mr. Flannery if he accedes to our request to meet us on 10 April, to receive information about the company in the UK, how it is structured, who are the directors and it is memorandum and articles of understanding.
