Mr. Barry O'Brien:

To protect the public interest, as Professor Whelan said in his opening statement – I will not quote him directly – they will take immediate action to further ensure the public interest aspect of that is protected. This issue would arise at board level but ultimately the board would not have a say in diverting public moneys. It would have to have full regard to the service level arrangement, which it has confirmed it will do, and to give assurance to everyone, it said it will have a public interest committee or sub-committee as part of the board to ensure that.
