Seán Fleming: It is not at the moment, in any event. Moving on now, tell me the process behind the Preferred Results Limited report, which was presented on 29 September 2017. Mr. Dollard says that it was rejected by the board, which was the real reason it did not go to the Department. It was because the board was not going to stand over it. Am I understanding this correctly?

Seán Fleming: Surely the board must have given approval for this document to be drawn up if it was going to cost €130,000. It knew it was in the pipeline. Mr. Dollard is now telling me it was never actually discussed at the board per se. It was discussed at some workshop, somewhere.

Seán Fleming: Did the board discuss that report?
