Alan Dillon: Let us look at the issues that have arisen as a result of the board's concern regarding ongoing issues within IFI. I refer to fleet management, for instance. Mr. Griffin might be aware that on 10 August 2021 an IFI vehicle was involved in a car crash in Manorhamilton. The IFI vehicle was rear-ended. Was the Department informed of this issue, which involved an uninsured vehicle?
