There was a High Court case. We had a group of people in here with Mr. Padraic Kissane late last year and two of them were customers of Permanent TSB. They are Mr. Thomas Ryan and Ms Hazel Melbourn. They presented very well and their presentation shook the foundations on this matter. It brought utter clarity for me. With Thomas and Claire Ryan, the High Court in September 2011 upheld a decision of the Financial Services Ombudsman. Mr. Masding came in as chief executive officer of the bank a short time afterwards. Why did he make the decision to appeal that humane decision on the part of the High Court to the Supreme Court?
