John Brady: I thank the Deputy. I have a couple of concluding questions. Ms Kelly referenced pensions earlier on. Where there is an overpayment to an individual with respect to their pension entitlements, she wants to put in place an agreement with that individual to see that repayment being made.

John Brady: I thank Ms Kelly. On the CID contracts, to get a bit of clarity, Mr. Moloney referenced earlier on that he is aware of one other case involving a former CEO where there were some conversations held that ultimately did not materialise to anything. I think I am right on that.

Does Mr. Moloney have that information to hand?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 Jul 2025)
