Engagement with the NTMA on Matters Relating to its Operation

Mr. Frank O'Connor:

I will just say one thing regarding when we discovered it and day one. I spoke about transparency and everybody being told but there were three strands to it, namely, immediate recovery efforts, who needs to be informed and continuously informed, and then investigation. Of course, that first meeting was about what we needed to do to elevate this until we discovered more. We might want other controls and then when we look at it we could start to take those back, depending on what was observed. Those were the immediate concerns. One of the actions - and there were many, as one can imagine - was to go back and look at all capital controls that had happened. The team went back all the way to the start of the year and looked through all capital calls in ISIF to make sure there was nothing untoward because that is important. There is obviously a large volume of capital calls throughout the year.
