Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) James Geoghegan: Mr. Ó Coigligh as the Secretary General is obviously very familiar with the law. A joint decision. So, it was his decision and the Minister's decision. Is that what he is saying? Is this his testimony here?

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) James Geoghegan: Did she did she query it? Were any questions posed about it? Was there any back and forth? Was there any hesitation on whether it should be brought to the Government? Was it considered that this was the huge amount of money and the Department had been under so much scrutiny at this point?

Chapter 10 - Measuring the Performance of Arts and Sports Spending (29 May 2025) James Geoghegan: With the limited time I have left, Ms Kennelly mentioned that two pre-legal actions have been initiated.

Mr. O'Sullivan said earlier that the value of the existing claims relate to 75% of the overall impairment. Am I correct in saying then that the value of the other case must be in and around €1.5 million?
