Mr. Adrian Lynch:
To clarify that, first, I want to apologise to Renault because Renault has been dragged into this. It is outrageous, in a way, in terms of that. I say that straight off the bat. Second, if you look at Grant Thornton report and the testimony of Geraldine O'Leary to the committee, it is completely obvious, even from the Grant Thornton report, that she said, when Noel Kelly came looking for his client's two €75,000 payments, it was not her problem, she was not going back to Renault and it was a one-year agreement.
