Professor Patrick Honohan:

Some of the documents that are interesting include the advisory documents from Merrill Lynch. A large number of documents were given to the Committee of Public Accounts by the Secretary General of the Department of Finance in late 2010. They are a very useful source because, while some of them are slightly redacted, they are un-rethought. They are exactly as they were received by the people concerned. There are some minutes of meetings. It would be wonderful if somebody had taken detailed minutes of meetings but it does not happen like that anywhere. Some notes were taken in meetings.
