Mr. Michael Culhane:
My role in that case is to advise the Commissioner. The funds of €2.3 million were accumulated over time, I presume by the college restaurant the Deputy refers to. That was part of the mechanism that was established at the time. The €2.3 million should never have been allowed to grow to that extent and I did not discover it until we compiled the report in 2008.
