However, notwithstanding how somebody is appointed, is there a facility in an organisation like HIQA, when issues like this emerge, for people to say that red flags have been raised and need to be dealt with? Is there any mechanism in place within the organisation to deal with this, where if Mr. McEnery is not prepared to take the decision himself, individuals within HIQA can decide that, in the best interests of the organisation, Mr. McEnery should, without prejudice, step aside from his position? Is Mr. Quinn telling me that is not possible?
