If Mr. Nugent could come up with some interim measure while he is arranging the bigger process, I would appreciate that.

I have a few very quick questions and a couple of remarks. I did not have time to ask Ms Barry from the Department of Justice and Equality any questions today. I am sorry about that. I find it incredible that the Department of Justice and Equality did not know about these issues. I find it unbelievable, to be honest. I would like Ms Barry to go back and ask who approved the setting up of the sports club. We were told by the Department that it first became aware of the issues in Templemore in October 2015. Does anyone here believe - or rather, have any evidence that the Department was aware substantially of these issues prior to that?
