Mary Lou McDonald: I thank Mr. Poole. Given the fact that he occupied directorships on Rehab's subsidiaries, we can take it that Rehab ought to have been informed of his interest in Complete Eco Solutions.

Mary Lou McDonald: We will move on to a note Rehab has supplied on a board meeting held on 25 March 2010, a month later. It tells us that Ms Kerins stepped out of the meeting. By this point, an order had been placed, the first shipment was due and a website was to be set up. Mr. Poole asked whether the supplier was approached to reduce prices in light of the changed market conditions, etc. To complete the...

Mary Lou McDonald: On what basis was he refusing to sign the cheque?
- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Mary Lou McDonald: If Mr. Poole does not mind, I will surmise why that gentleman refused to sign the cheque. Instead of importing materials directly, Rehab chose to use a third party.
