Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:

They exited in a very public manner but that change had to be given effect through the pre-qualification questionnaire, PQQ, process. It conformed with that process. When that change happened, the role of those two companies, McCourt Global LLC and Tetrad, was that they were the two relied upon to demonstrate the capacity of the bidder to meet the financial and economic criteria of the PQQ. They were both assessed separately and either of them would have been sufficient to have qualified.
