Mr. Joe Christle:

Yes, in the October meeting - which was called by the IABA to bring the Minister of State up to date with everything that had happened since the Athlone meeting - we set out what we had already done. These are the other matters that were agreed in Athlone and we were seeing what had happened regarding those other matters. At the 14 October meeting, it was clear that the most important thing for the Minister of State, the Irish Sports Council and the IABA was to get Mr. Walsh's signature on a contract. We all agreed on that and we all left the room saying "That is what we will get done." That was on the Wednesday before Mr. Walsh's resignation letter on the Monday.
