3 4 MR. QUINN: Good afternoon, Sir. Mr. John - The Tribunal of ...

1014:28:231 Lawlor, Mr. Gilbride and Mr. McGrath in the period during the plan was under2 review?3 A. That's correct and I was satisfied --4 Q. 56 And were you concerned that a Garda inquiry might raise the issue of the14:28:385 receipt by those councillors of monies from you and a developer during that6 review period?7 A. I had no concern whatsoever because as far as I was concerned they were8 perfectly legitimate payments and I had no reason to be concerned about them9 whatsoever.14:28:5310 Q. 57 And you knew in a Mr. Dunlop knew that at least Councillor Gilbride had11 received monies from you, isn't that right?12 A. Again, yes, that's correct. But again, as I say, I was not concerned about13 that as there was nothing untoward about it.14 Q. 58 And was there any discussion, Mr. Deane, between yourself and Mr. O'Callaghan14:29:1215 and the bank in relation to your involvement with the councillors and this16 inquiry going being conducted at this time?17 A. There is certainly as far as I can recall a general discussion with the bank.18 There was no specific names as far as I can recall ever mentioned and again, I19 think if we were asked by the bank we would have expressed the same view. That14:29:4320 from our perspective there was nothing untoward of anything that we were aware21 of in connection with Quarryvale and therefore, again, the issue was one of22 delay more than anything else.23 Q. 59 And when was that matter raised by the bank?24 A. Off the top of my head, I couldn't say.14:29:5325 Q. 60 Who within the bank raised the issue and when?26 A. I think it was raised at a meeting, at one of our regular meetings, the date of27 which I just can't recall.28 Q. 61 We know there was a meeting for example on the 28th of July '93 at 9934,29 between Mr. O'Callaghan, Mr. Chambers and a Mr. McGrath. Now, we have dealt14:30:1330 with meetings involving Mr. McGrath yesterday.Premier Captioning & Realtime Limitedwww.pcr.ie Day 881
