At several board meetings, board members absented themselves because they felt there was a conflict or a perception of a conflict of interest. At a meeting on 2 November 2006, for example, the chair leaves with another board member but then the replacement chair has to leave too because of a conflict of interest. From the minutes, it is quite common for people to leave board meetings due to conflicts. It did not just happen with the Irish Glass Bottle site either but at other meetings dealing with other issues. Did it strike Ms Moylan as odd that board members would leave because they had, or a company for which they worked had, an investment in the project under discussion?
