Correct me if I'm wrong, but had the takeover of the project not happened before the Branch was dissolved? The dissolution of the Branch was over the VAT issue, which people on both sides of this debate have agreed was somethoing of a red herring.

The only justification I can find for the dissolution was that the Árd Comhairle were upset that the Branch didn't comply with the direction to give the refund money to the Árd Comhairle. Can someone who does speak for the Árd Comhairle please explain why this was such a big issue as to warrant dissolution?
