Clerk to the Committee:

As have Mr. Bradshaw and the officials in the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, including a retired official, Ms Mary Moylan, who was the departmental representative on the DDDA at the time the Irish Glass Bottle site was acquired. We commenced our hearings almost two and a half years ago with the then remaining executive of the docklands. Loretta Lambkin was the last of the old management team.

At the time we considered inviting the former board to come before the committee and wrote letters to its members. A number of them replied. One person said it had been seven years or more since she had been involved and she had no records. Another said she was living abroad. There was an issue regarding one former board member who was before the courts at the time.

The committee took a pragmatic decision not to venture into that territory, so we left the former board members and we took evidence from Mr. Bradshaw who was the chairman and from Mr. Maloney, but we did not go near the former board members, other than Mary Moylan.
