We wrote to Mr. Goulding because we were seeking the documentation which he believed would be of assistance to the committee and to which he had referred on a radio programme a number of months ago. The Chairman will recall that when the then board of the CRC and the HSE came before us, there were a number of missing pieces of correspondence, in particular the minutes of the remuneration committee meetings. Mr. Goulding was a member of the remuneration committee and the man who had presented the "goodbye" package for Mr. Kiely to the board. We have still not received the minutes. I understand he is saying he must consult and take account of the confidentiality agreements, but he gave a very clear commitment on the national airwaves that he would be sending the documentation to the Committee of Public Accounts. It has been dragging on a little. We would be very grateful if we could receive the documentation as quickly as possible.
