The point is - Mr. O'Brien might want to sit back into his seat and I do not think we should miss this as a committee - that it is not good enough for the HSE simply to say in a general way that it introduced these general protocols and systems. The real accountability, and what we need to get to, is the issue of the nominated people who had a specific role in respect of these agreements with Console. Since Mr. Raleigh is one of those persons and he is here, I would like him to answer to this committee how he discharged his role as an authorised signatory and as one of those who had a direct responsibility for the arrangements with Console. From what I have heard so far, it seems to have been a laissez-fairepolicy and very hands off, which troubles me.
