Ms Anne O'Leary:

I was uncomfortable with the idea that something would be put down as "consultancy", with no definition of what that was. It did not seem like an ordinary transaction to me so I suggested to our committee that we put that on the agenda of our next meeting and see if an internal audit could be done. If the audit finds that it is perfectly okay we can let the matter lie. If it throws up further concerns, I would get either Grant Thornton or Arthur Cox to take a look at it.
