The onus is on Mr. Barry and others to explain the reason in areas such as brand development and customer engagement. I note there is another reference in another lot to talent management and recruitment strategies. These are basic human resources competencies and as of yet, I have not heard an explanation from any of the witnesses that explains to me or the public how it is that those competencies and skills were not already within Bord Gáis Energy and the approximately 50 people of expertise who, the witnesses tell us, were dedicated to this project. That is the nub of the issue.
