Mr. Hamilton Goulding:

I really do not think so. I think there was enough objectivity among the board. While there was admiration and respect for Mr. Kiely and the way in which he performed his duties, I do not believe any of us thought that we should load him up with an extra €100,000 here, there and anywhere, where we did not have to. I felt that the boundary of what he was going to accept had been reached. He is a very determined individual and is very aware of his rights and able to protect them. He had an understanding of his rights and we believed that it would not have taken a lot of pushing to get us into a difficult situation with him.
