In regard to the Garda members who were acting as directors when these companies were set up, that was completely illegal, was it not? Under the law and the rules and regulations of the public service, they cannot serve as directors of any private company. Will the witnesses fill me in on that? Was that completed? There was no consent from a Minister or anyone else. They just set this up and they were members of the board, as directors, and they never made any declarations, as we all have to do under the regulations. Will the witnesses fill me in on that?
