It is fast becoming apparent, according to Mr. Brian Conlan's evidence, that a man blindfolded on a galloping horse would have been more aware of what was happening in the CRC. I am finding it really difficult. I am finding it really difficult for reasons similar to those expressed by Deputy McDonald because Mr. Conlan is not an amateur. His CV, which he referenced in his opening statement, shows he was the chief executive officer of the Mater, a director of finance in the Mater and on a board for eight years. This is not a residents' association, with all due respect to residents' associations. Mr. Conlan was an accomplished public servant, yet he knew nothing.
