Ms Josephine Feehily:

Might I answer the question this way? I can assure the Deputy that as far as Revenue is concerned, we had very significant and helpful engagement with the authorised officer.

I have no view or knowledge on which to form a view about what happened in his own Department, why he was appointed, and what happened towards the ending of his role. I have no information on which to have a view about that.

Deputy Fleming's point is an important one to repeat. His role was narrow. It was prescribed in the Companies Act. It clearly needed further work because High Court inspectors were subsequently appointed.
