Mr. Mark Griffin:

I cannot answer that question and I do not know why that did not happen because the letter of offer is very clear. It states in black and white that when there is a change to the original letter of offer, the SEUPB must be notified and any changes approved. Those changes include, according to the letter of offer, "change in the content of the project from that set out in the original approved application, e.g., changing the scope, delivery or aim". All of those boxes were ticked in terms of absolutely requiring a revision of the letter of offer. Putting myself in the shoes of the people who were involved at that time, I suspect that the principal focus was on getting the project back on track and ensuring that they delivered an outcome. That appears to have put the requirement to deal with the administrative aspects and the need to draft-----
