Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Sep 2018)

Catherine Connolly: There was an issue raised on it in relation to the Statute of Limitations. It seemed as if it was just the German company but if one goes through the transcript the State Claims Agency said it is also raising the Statute of Limitations, which is interesting.
