Ms Fiona Brady:

When we learned about it from The Sunday Times, we were very concerned. There was an allegation of misuse of funds and we knew nothing about it. The following day I liaised with Ms Nugent and we had a conversation in relation to the issue. I made a request on the Tuesday for the report or for the part that pertained to the NTPF so that we could get an overview. Unfortunately, Ms Nugent was not able to release that. At that stage, I wrote to her to say I was going to stop all insourcing until I got an idea of what we were talking about.
