Of that, €750,000 was used for a settlement. With the benefit of hindsight and considering the e-mails between Mr. Goulding and Mr. Kiely. I want to take away the personalities from those documents, and to put it in lay terms, it seems Mr. Kiely was able to come up with his own dowry without having to provide for it. Should Mr. Kiely have come up with his own package or should the CRC brought in an independent person to do it? If Mr. Kiely had stayed on board, the terms of the Haddington Road agreement would have kicked in. It was indicated that the process cost the CRC €151,000. How does the board stand over the fact that the chief executive officer did not take the cuts from the financial emergency measures in the public interest legislation, although he was imposing it down the line on people with no say? Many of those people were probably under financial pressure.
