What have we learned? Ms Keane...

Kevin O'Keeffe: I welcome the Minister and the Minister of State. I am amused that the Minister says new material has come to light. Many of the issues being discussed date back as far as a previous Minister, Dr. Jim McDaid, who also had a fray with Mr. Hickey about tickets and the operations of the OCI.
