In 2016, the IHRB provided €1.8 million for new and improved equipment at BHP Laboratories in Limerick. In 2018, the board terminated the contract with BHP. I have seen correspondence on this. What happened to the €1.8 million? Was that returned to the IHRB and did the board seek to recoup any of it as this would have been taxpayers' money it received from HRI?
