Mr. Gordon Conroy:

The State bodies division was informed yesterday afternoon there was a matter that was financial in nature and this caused some concerns. We were informed there would be an independent review of the matter. When we were informed of this, I informed the Minister and the Secretary General about it. Obviously, this is subject to a review and I cannot go into it in much detail. Based on the knowledge I had at the time, late last night I wrote to Ms Suzanne Eade, CEO of HRI, the body with oversight for the IHRB, and to Mr. O'Loughlin, as the CEO of the IHRB, regarding the matter and asking that the independent review be conducted as soon as possible and consider all matters.
