Mr. Liam Moloney:

If I had come before the committee on 18 May and said that the Walker company was going to go into liquidation and then the company did not go into liquidation, I would have landed myself in serious trouble. While we were aware that the Walker company was in financial difficulty we did not know when the company was going into liquidation. The liquidation process started on 22 May when the company published a notice in the newspaper concerning a creditors meeting. We would have informed the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications.
