Mr. Kavanagh already has a quite heavy schedule. He is on five sub-committees and probably has a large brief already. In any case, in terms of dealing with succession issues, was there any discussion of Mr. Kavanagh's severance payment? Obviously, given that his salary is in breach of the guidelines, which was a topic generating public disquiet, was there any discussion of the opinion that he should receive generous payments based on his length of service when he completes his term? Was there any such proposal put to the board?
