Mr. Pat Colgan:

It did. I agree with the Deputy. We took assurances from the implementing agencies that there was no fundamental change to the letter of offer, and we acted on those assurances. That would not happen today because we have changed the system entirely. We have a centralised control over the monitoring of conditions of letter of offer and anything like that would trigger a different kind of response nowadays. Back then, we relied on the assurances we received from two government Departments.
