I got no answers. Some of my points obviously were not questions. Mr. O'Connor has made an alarming statement that he was not aware or was not involved. Surely when he was asked by the Minister to take up this role, he troubled himself to inquire into what was happening. There is no point in saying that he was not aware of what happened during the consultation. He was asked to do this responsible job. He did not ask for it and he did not ask about remuneration. I accept that he does not need it or might not take it, but he is surely entitled to brief himself on such a public role and find out what it entails. Does he take jobs without considering them? We know this will happen anyway. It has been decided.
