The criticism is not that the minutes are not in the folder. The criticism is that Mr. Ó Foghlú says he has not even seen the minutes and does not know whether they actually exist. That is the criticism. It is not that we wanted them to hand here but we do not know how Mr. Ó Foghlú could be fully briefed to attend here. He said there was a series of at least 15 meetings on what happened after the Ryan report in which hundreds of millions was discussed. Mr. Ó Foghlú said the Christian Brothers withdrew a substantial portion of that.

We wanted to know what was said at those meetings and Mr. Ó Foghlú is telling us nobody in the whole preparation went to look back at the minutes of those meetings.
