Mr. Adrian Neilan:

To be clear here, there was a whole project management team involved in this. Our internal auditor was involved at every meeting and people were there to protect the board. The engineers and solicitors knew that fill was needed. We believed that if everything held up, construction activity continued and if the 15 sites in Limerick kept operating, fill would come on site. The issue was to make sure the fill arrived. Contractors were coming on site. Bord na gCon owned the site. We had to sort out insurance and access issues and keep all of that under control. That was a conundrum and we asked our solicitors and engineers to help us to figure it out. As a result of that, they came up with a method statement by which fill was going to be introduced on site. They looked for ways to give that method statement a bit of value. That was the direction.
