Mr. Tommy Foy organised the purchase of Cross pens, Bulova watches - I presume they are fancy watches, I have no idea but it sounds impressive - and medallions. Not meat, rather commemorative medallions. There has been a debate here around conflicts of interest, the stating of conflicts of interests and the policy thereon. Is Professor Fitzgerald asking the committee to believe that Tommy Foy and others on the governing authority did not know that Mr. Kearney operated a jeweller's shop in the middle of Limerick city?
