The legal mechanism under which the Minister put in place this process was via legislation, and he issued a ministerial order for the project to be carried out by the special liquidator. In the interests of the judge, the Department should tell him when it meets with him that it will pay him directly, because it is not in the judge's interest, in the inquiry's interest or in anybody's interest that he be on the payroll of the special liquidator. I hope Ms Nolan will take that point on board.
