Mr James Gogarty told the tribunal that a document he typed as a summary of comtemporaneous notes referred to a payment of £10,000 and a cash payment of £30,000 to Mr Ray Burke.
Mr John Gallagher SC, for the tribunal, said they had asked him on the last day about typed notes with handwritten comments at the side. The chairman had asked him to decipher the comments.
Mr Gogarty said he had read them and it was a computer printout. It was based on a summary of notes he made at the time of conversations with different people in the firm about events that were happening within a short time between July 1st, 1989, roughly, and up to maybe August that year.
He said that seemingly in the documents he was referring to a cheque in cash of June 1989, and his recollection was that this was the cash for £10,000 that was given to Mr Ray Burke. That was his recollection.
"Underneath that I said `date' or something, `Ray Burke and RJC and £30,000 cash'. Which I have already sworn to that I believe that it was [Mr Roger] Copsey organised that money, that the money came from Copsey from somewhere, from somewhere," he said.
Asked by Mr Gallagher about what he meant by "that money", Mr Gogarty said: "I am saying the £40,000 that went to Mr Burke, made up of £30,000 in cash and a £10,000 cheque."
Mr Gallagher asked when he said he wrote the notes along the side. He said he could not swear to the date but it was some time in that period between July 1st and the end of August.
