I have worked in offices over the years. When one is asked to raise an invoice, one will put on the invoice what it is for so that the person on the other side will know what he or she is paying for. Ms O'Leary is raising an invoice for consultancy fees and this goes to the heart of "an act designed to deceive" that we talked about earlier. We have an invoice that Ms O'Leary is raising. She has been instructed to raise it. She does not normally do this. She cannot recall some aspects of it. It does not name Ryan Tubridy or his company but in this whole arrangement, he would have been the beneficial interest. What did the person who raised this invoice in Ms O'Leary's office, on her behalf, say to her? What did the person say in terms of what to put on the invoice?
