Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:
As I mentioned to Deputy Sherlock, we reviewed spending, including at local authority level. We did not review what individual companies had drawn down. I did not think that was possible. Companies had to declare a 25% drop in turnover. That was the single criterion. There was not uncertainty. We knew they were legitimate businesses and ratepayers.
