I thank the witnesses for attending today. The committee was discussing this matter previously but its discussions had to come to an end. As a result, further time has elapsed, which makes it difficult to get to some of the issues. I appreciate greatly that Ms Moylan is only one of a number of serving board members who are now appearing before the committee. It is unfortunate if the full weight of our concerns are falling on one person, but it is good to have her before the committee to answer the questions members have.

Before I get into the detail of some of its activities, I want to touch on the culture in the board at the relevant time. As a committee, we often encounter systems failures in Departments which have led to financial mismanagement. There is also an issue of cultural failures in organisations which lead to financial mismanagement. This might be a very useful example of that. Deputy Nash also touched on this issue. Ms Moylan sat on the board from 2000 to 2007. When did she leave the board?
