Mr. Kenneth Ruane:

I will read out the note. It states:

Ken,

Thank you for the attached. Before I review, I ought to share my initial reaction which is that the draft goes to an inappropriate level of detail.

I was referred to sample minutes that are on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, DPER, website.

Would you mind having a go at a draft in a similar style that could be reviewed?

I have to declare that I did look at the DPER sample minutes and I amended the minutes, but I indicated to Mr. Dunne at the next meeting that I would be keeping the earlier note on file as my own file note.
