In chapter 5 of Dr. Byrne's book, she mentions golden circles of the 1980s and 1990s. In page 103, she states, "This period was distinct from previous scandals because it marked the possibility of the gravest form of corruption, that of State capture within political decision making". Will Dr. Byrne speak to the committee about State capture and the type of actors involved - we are not discussing individuals - bearing in mind the inquiry's terms of reference starting in 1992?
