Mr. Tom O'Connell:

I don't think integrity is a question because I would have presented my views as they were but they weren't accepted at a higher level. I mean, that's the nature of things. I have no doubt in the Department of Finance people would have been saying the same thing. I think you're getting some witnesses coming forward with that and if their views are not accepted, that is the nature of the organisation. People at the top decide as to how they play things.
