Seán Fleming: We will see how we are doing time-wise. We will definitely deal with that before we leave the room. Ms Finan is a member of the Northern Ireland committee. Deputy Kelly touched on this earlier. I ask her to outline the format of the declaration of interest somebody had to make at the meeting. Did they have to sign a form, circulate it and notify the members, or did they just have to...

Seán Fleming: We will move on because we are caught for time. Ms Finan might not be aware that we have been given the Northern Ireland committee minutes for the entire period. The minutes state, "A declaration of interest was made by Mr. Frank Cushnahan in relation to...". We have three lines blanked out that we, as the Committee of Public Accounts, have not received.

Seán Fleming: We just want to put it on record. Again it makes our job more difficult. We have a direct conflict of interest. At a previous meeting Mr. Rowntree told us that people sitting at the board had no idea of what was on the sheet of paper handed up and they could have been sitting beside a member who had a conflict of interest and not been aware of it. Ms Finan is saying that is not the case.

Seán Fleming: The board minutes refer to detailed discussions about debtor remuneration and companies' insolvency actions updates. There seems to be quite a bit of information that anyone with any general knowledge would have known even though it was not said at the meeting. It is a bit like the board of NAMA when it discusses big debtors. If a board member mentions that somebody has a particular hotel,...
