Mr. Paul Maloney:

I thought when I said "No" that the issue would not emerge again. Perhaps that was naive but I honestly did not think of that between 24 October and 2 November. It was not uppermost in my mind. Finalising the heads of terms was uppermost in my mind so as to ensure that our conditions and criteria were set out. I questioned the proposal and I stated there were negative aspects. I wanted the board to know that I was uncomfortable.
