Mr. Mark Griffin:

As far as I am aware, it was reported to the police. As for the structure of Bytel, if my memory is correct Bytel has been reincarnated as a company called Atlas. The statement of claim the Northern Ireland authorities issued with regard to the court proceedings - I believe this was in 2011 - set out clearly the specific concerns that were raised. These included, for example, the use of a sister company for the processing of some of the claims, particularly with regard to the Nortel racks. In respect of the final claim submitted on the project, it was a claim of €2 million based on a single-page document comprising the provision of infrastructure that we believe was not provided in the manner set out in the payment claim. I refer to the fact that this payment claim only amounted to a single page and represented a valuation on the works done of €17 million which, as we subsequently know from the Prisa Consulting report, was a valuation of multiples of the actual cost of the infrastructure that was delivered. As I stated regarding those court proceedings, the statement of claim has been issued, the case is yet to be heard and I am constrained in expressing a view with regard to what exactly happened on this particular project on the range of issues the Deputy has highlighted in his statement.
