Professor Willie Donnelly:

It was in confidence. As I believed I was not a director, I said "No". When I checked the records, I found I was a director. I immediately informed the chairman. Due to the fact that I felt concerned about not remembering and because we had a new governing body, I felt it was important that the institute carried out a review of all of the procedures relating to FeedHenry to satisfy itself that there was nothing untoward there and to report to the governing body. I asked the financial controller to carry out that internal review. The report was compiled and delivered to the governing body. I will state categorically that I am absolutely confident that, within our culture, what the group that reviewed it put into that report are the correct activities that were carried out in respect of FeedHenry.
