Mr. Francis Doherty:

Kerdiffstown House became almost a symbol of the things that were going wrong and maybe of a sense of loss of control. The service was losing €1 million per year. It had a maintenance budget under its service level agreements, SLAs, with the local authorities for €100,000 to €125,000, or roughly €1,000 per person per year. However, when my deputy and I came into office, we got access to invoices and we could see there were payments to construct a peacock enclosure at the front of the property for two peacocks and for the widening of the driveway for €300,000 and €6,000 to €7,000 was being spent-----
