Mr. Joe Christle:

I believe the answer is "Yes". How can I convince the committee or the Deputy that is the case? Throughout the process with Billy Walsh I believe I can stand over my efforts and those of the board of directors to try to retain the services of Billy Walsh. The only way to demonstrate that those efforts were real and thorough is for an independent review on this whole process, from February to today, to be carried out. I would welcome that because of the words of the chairman and chief executive of the Irish Sports Council in regard to the competence or efforts of the board of directors, directed at me as chairman of the board of directors.
