Mr. John Barrett:

Tá rud éigin a rá agam. I have asked three times, myself personally, four times through my solicitor to have the document - which has just been referred to and was released to this committee yesterday - given to me. Some 85% of the document that was eventually released under freedom of information - consider how this might play - was redacted in protection of the very issues the finance director has not discussed. That reflects the situation in its reality. This correspondence will be made available to the committee; it is important that it has it. I discovered the existence of that letter almost a year to the day after it had been written. The interesting inversion of trust that was presented to the committee appals me. We requested, legitimately, a letter written about me that I had no knowledge of, which alleges a potential criminal offence. Rights of natural justice, constitutional procedure - none of that existed. I discovered it yesterday as being included in the pack to this committee.
