Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Mr. Noel Merrick:

It took some time. A particular company was employed to provide ongoing legal advice at the time. The Dr. Thorn investigation then commenced. That piece of legal advice ended at that stage and the firm was stood down. The ETB was then entitled to seek another set of legal advice because an investigation had been started and under its insurance policy, the board was entitled to draw down the advice of a different company. It took a while before all of the advice was available. We asked for it early on and it was subsequently released in six or seven big folders.
