The witnesses must forgive members if we are incorrect on certain matters but there is so much documentation. Looking through all the documentation, at all stages, Mr. Culhane has maintained that the Department of Justice and Equality was aware of the situation in the Garda college in relation to the money being used from the restaurant and going into the company and so on. He maintains the Department was aware that profit was being made. He made that point repeatedly.
