Ms Josephine Feehily:

He had a very brief conversation. He came to the committee and spoke with members. I was not present. He then wrote to us to formally resign. I telephoned him, more or less, to see if he was all right. As he did in the letter, he expressed to me that he felt that because he might be taking certain personal actions, he did not want to in any way undermine the work we were doing relating to the code of ethics. He just did not think it was a good fit for what he expected he would be doing personally.
