We will continue with what he said. He offered the view to the then Commissioner that as the State had not provided money to develop and improve the social and sporting culture of Garda students, the companies and committees identified in the 2008 report were formed as the only means to develop and improve the social and sporting culture of the college. He goes on to say that he further offered the view that there was no suggestion that any funds generated were used for other purposes and that the moneys collected in these funds were contributed either directly or indirectly by members who use the Garda college. We will come back to this deputy commissioner who was in charge of the Garda college which was training young gardaí. This was his view. He offered the strong belief that any surplus money did not belong to the State and could not be used except for the welfare and development of facilities for members at the Garda college. Was that offered in a written report?
