Kieran O'Donnell: There is a good deal of confusion in this area. Once again we are trying to ensure public funds were not put at risk. Could Mr. Poole give us a brief overview of it?

Kieran O'Donnell: Perhaps Mr. Hogan will give us an overview. It arose at the audit committee where Ms Kerins stated that her family was involved. Was that the first occasion on which Mr. Hogan became aware of that?

- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is the key. It is like writing a book and forgetting about chapter one and moving on to chapter four. It does not work that way. The board must have been aware of the connection when it considered this. Did it come from Ms Kerins?

- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
