Mr. Declan Reid:

Based on the records that are available, they did not receive a detailed file of all the documents associated with the transaction but that meeting seems to have been an exploration of some of the concerns they had heard by way of parliamentary questions and other concerns that were raised about the transaction generally, which they explored. If the Deputy reads the second page of that note, she will find that it shows how they started to try to evaluate some of the commercial decisions that were being made on that transaction and that is what led to the further meetings.
