Jonathan O'Brien: While they are trying to figure out if there are buildings or lands which the board previously owned which it sold and then leased back, perhaps I might move to my other questions because I do not want to waste time.

- Public Accounts Committee: Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015 (21 Feb 2019)
Jonathan O'Brien: I will try to be a little clearer. With regard to the legal advice the former chairman obtained, I am going to say it was in a personal capacity, even though in his opinion he was seeking it on behalf of the board but without its approval. When I say "in a personal capacity," I am not suggesting he went off and just obtained legal advice for himself.
