Let us go back to 2011 and the discussion of the then board. Perhaps Mr. Moloney can clarify this as well. Mr. Moloney indicated there were contractual issues in 2011 which were delegated to the chairperson. Will he clarify the exact nature of them? Mr. Keeling also indicated in his address that in 2011, the HRI board asked the then chairman, Mr. Denis Brosnan, to deal with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine regarding the CEO's contract and his ability to be reappointed. Will both Mr. Keeling and Mr. Moloney clarify that the board mandated Mr. Brosnan to find out from the Department about the CEO's contract and his ability to be reappointed? When Mr. Keeling wrote to the Department was he seeking the reappointment of the CEO or was he asking the Department for legal advice as to whether he would have to be reappointed?
