It is dated 6 August 2015. It was a meeting that started at 11.15 a.m. and finished at 1.15 p.m.. I refer the Commissioner to page 3, which states "MC [which is Michael Culhane] said that he was shocked by what had just been said by [Ken Ruane] in that there was nothing complex or difficult about this issue and why would the issue have to be elevated to the Attorney Generals Office without all the relevant documentation".

The last paragraph states "He again expressed shock that [Ken Ruane] is considering that there are complex corporate law issues here". Again there seems to be a pattern here. Mr. Culhane is unhappy with even the Office of the Attorney General being informed.
