I welcome the witnesses. I have read the report, which is 146 pages in length and very comprehensive. This is nothing personal, as our job is to peruse. In general terms, the report highlights the features. Mr. Cregan sent us a letter in January, which I assume he stands over, and the report is consistent with that letter. It is unusual that he did not interview the directors, although he made contact with Mr. Goulding. At board level, the companies had common directors for a significant period. At the CRC, the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic and CRC Medical Devices, the common directors were Mr. Goulding and Mr. Nugent. In addition, Mr. Kiely was company secretary for all three before being replaced by Mr. Conlan, although the latter would dispute some of this, in respect of the CRC and the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic. Mr. Cregan has dealt with the issue, but interviews should have been done.

Mr. Cregan was unable to locate the files of two senior executives.
