Ms Laverne McGuinness:

At the time, as the Deputy will recall, we had come before the Committee of Public Accounts and revelations were made to the committee about various pensions, on which we had not been able to get information. Information was still outstanding that we were unable to obtain. The CEO had resigned and there was no CEO. To bring a level of public confidence to the administration of the CRC, we sent in an interim administrator, Mr. Cregan, to carry out some of the CEO's duties and provide a review. The aim was not to perform a legal investigation but to access the records which were in the CRC offices and to which we had no access.
