Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

That would be subject to discovery in the normal way. To flag the overall issue and not refer to any specific case, this highlights the issue for the Department. The programme was being run and in the vast majority of cases, the investments were sound but it gave the impression the projects had some authorisation from the Department of Justice. Neither was that our role or function and nor did we do that. That was a risk for us and for the country as a whole. It gave the impression these had some kind of blessing from the Government, which they did not.
