1 Q. 193 You can't recall -- Did you read the papers?<br />
2 A. I read them all the time but I can't recall back to '92, '93 and '94.<br />
3 Q. 194 Would you have read the Southside People, for example?<br />
4 A. Well don't forget it was a very busy time for me and I had a lot <strong>of</strong> things<br />
11:23:29<br />
5 going on. So I wouldn't have read it in depth. And don't forget we had an<br />
6 election in the middle <strong>of</strong> that. We had an election in '93. And I had a<br />
7 Senate Election in '94 so a lot going on in my mind.<br />
8 Q. 195 Right. Would you have kept abreast <strong>of</strong> local events?<br />
9 A. I'd do my best, particularly in relation to my own area. I was very anxious<br />
11:23:49<br />
10 about my own area but after that, I just was vague as regards what was going<br />
11 on. And I relied on the local representatives to fill me in.<br />
12 Q. 196 Would you have received election contributions from Monarch Properties?<br />
13 A. Yes, I did.<br />
14 Q. 197 So certainly you knew <strong>of</strong> the existence <strong>of</strong> Monarch Properties ins<strong>of</strong>ar as they<br />
11:24:05<br />
15 came to provide election contributions, is that right?<br />
16 A. Well the name came up and a cheque. As I said, I did have a political<br />
17 account. So it was very easy to track down, as much as I could to track down<br />
18 any election or political donation that is I received.<br />
19 Q. 198 And certainly it would appear in November <strong>of</strong> 1992 for the General Election you<br />
11:24:25<br />
20 received a sum <strong>of</strong> 750 pounds?<br />
21 A. That's right. I was able to track that down later but it took a while to track<br />
22 it down.<br />
23 Q. 199 And certainly the cheque would have been a cheque made out by Monarch<br />
24 Properties Services Limited, isn't that right?<br />
11:24:38<br />
25 A. I'd only vaguely look at it.<br />
26 Q. 200 In November <strong>of</strong> 1992 when you got the cheque you might have looked at it in<br />
27 detail?<br />
28 A. I doubt it very much because to tell you the truth, I was so busy<br />
29 electioneering at that stage, and I don't know how it even came into my<br />
