I will repeat the question. When Mr. Boucher appeared before this committee he said the only difference between public interest directors and appointed directors of Bank of Ireland was that the former were not elected. He said that both types of director had the same duty of care and under company law had the same responsibilities. Would you agree that you are just directors, like anybody else? That was Mr. Boucher's opinion, as expressed to this committee.
