Internal emails state Conor Skehan would ‘very much appreciate’ being given sculpture

Last October, board member Tony O’Brien brought a proposal to the board that the artwork be “re-presented” to Mr Skehan as a gift. In a written submission, Mr O’Brien said the former chair had “never missed a board meeting” and had overseen a significant expansion of the agency during his five-year tenure. He said the board had previously agreed to gift him a “unique work of art” to say thank you.

In a November 2018 email, Mr O’Brien told the chief executive contrary to that position “the gift had been approved, unanimously, by the board, at a meeting in the absence of the chair”. He said during an audit committee meeting the C&AG had outlined there was no reason “why the agency could not give the gift to the former chair”.
