Shane Ross: I would like to come in on the CRC Medical Devices issue, which needs tidying up very badly. It seems the board is stuck on it. It says it is going to review it, which means it does not really know what to do. Is that not correct? There is nobody to talk to. We do not know who the secretary is and Mr. Conlan is refusing to communicate. Mr. Goulding got a letter - we all have a copy of...

Shane Ross: I am sorry; we have a copy of the reply. It does not say there is any more information coming. Is there anything in there that Mr. Cregan can tell us about this company? It seems everyone just wants to drop it like a hot brick.

Shane Ross: From the very little we know about CRC Medical Devices, we realise it lost money for reasons we have not a clue about because we do not know anything about it. It submits only very short accounts to the Companies Registration Office. We know the company was spending money like water and that it was extravagant. All we seem to know is that CRC charged it for management fees or expertise in...
