I understand that. Ms McMahon has been very clear. I do not understand how An Garda Síochána can have an investigation with an open mind if that is its belief because it is clearly against what Mr. McGee, Mr. Nolan and the internal audit said. For my simple mind, money came through a Vote to pay for the gardaí who were training. That money went into the restaurant. Surplus money was made in the restaurant through extra people coming in.

A profit was made. There was a co-mingling of public and private funds and a company was formed. The profit generated was then used to purchase Aviva shares. Is that right?
