Paul McAuliffe: It is an extraordinary situation to put a fellow colleague in. To come before an Oireachtas joint committee and to put the blame for all of this on a misinterpretation of a line you inserted in your email.

Paul McAuliffe: It is your assertion before the committee that you included this throwaway line at the bottom of an email - again that the committee cannot see - and then your next knowledge was that the money arrived in your account?
