Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

I apologise. The director in question had committed to pay back the money, which we should remind ourselves were claims made for expenses for travelling from Dubai to board meetings for Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company. In that year he claimed €10,250 as against, for example, the CEO who claimed only €3,000 and a small amount claimed by another board director. In September it was stated he would pay it back but now the Minister is stating it would be close to a year before he does so. I find this extraordinary. While I am at it-----
