Is it true that in March 2015 the HSE inspector informed CIT that some of the areas for storing chemicals and so on were no longer to be used as work stations and that flammable chemicals had been left sitting next to explosive chemicals in a store unit? These are the issues that have been raised with the committee. Given that CIT made €1 million available, it would appear from the photographs provided that there is a loose arrangement in place in respect of these matters.
