They are making substantial charges against an independent, reputable organisation that has received accreditation on an international basis. We do not have the capacity to allow it to answer charges made against it. I do not think that is fair or right. If I were in Mr. Cullen's position, I would have taken the opportunity to come before the committee in advance of the regulator because we would then have had the opportunity to raise those matters with it immediately. It must be acknowledged that the body that regulates safety has been accredited internationally and recognised and I do not think we should facilitate the making of what may be unfounded claims without giving the regulator the opportunity to be represented.
