It seems to me that the audit of March 2013 put the frighteners on certain people. When people discovered they were going to be scrutinised by the HSE in regard to their salaries, they resigned. However, the deal they constructed around the resignation was incredible. I think they deceived people within the organisation with regard to how they accounted for it. I think the board members were aware of that. Certainly, some of them had to be aware of it. We are going from the attitude that mistakes were made and pay policy was breached to full knowledge of things that should not have happened. The scale of sanction with regard to how things were accounted for is something I have to question. I think it is very serious. It is not just a case of "maybe we paid him too much". If I was a member of the friends and supporters association I would have serious questions about the now resigned board members of the CRC. I do not know what steps they might take after this.

When Mr. Conlan resigned from the Mater hospital, what kind of retirement package did he receive?
