Mr. Paul Gallagher:
The initial engagement was directly with the audit committee and the chair of the committee with Arthur Cox. Arthur Cox directly advised the audit committee that it felt an investigation was warranted. Arthur Cox drew up the terms of reference for that investigation. It engaged independently, through a procurement piece, KPMG, to conduct that investigation. At that point, we had to give management responses and we engaged fully with that investigation. Of the 196 allegations made, none were upheld.
