Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

It was an informal meeting. I honestly cannot remember how long the meeting went on. There is no issue regarding how long the meeting went on. I believe the focus is on what actually transpired at that meeting, and the outcome of that meeting. In terms of what transpired at that meeting, I was aware that Mr. Ruane, the head of legal affairs, had sent a report to Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin. The person who had contributed to the authoring of that report, Mr. Barrett, was present at the meeting in the college that day - the day-long meeting. Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin invited Mr. Barrett over to the reception room so that he could hear what we were going to discuss regarding the content of Mr. Ruane's report. Those discussions went on and arising from those discussions, the following morning, Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin sent me a report regularising what we had discussed at those meetings. Thereafter, immediate actions were taken, which has led to the implementation of the recommendations in the internal audit report, which we are now discussing. I am not in dispute around the length of the meeting. It was at the end of a very long day. The meeting was informal in nature. If it was a formal meeting-----
