A governance committee was established in 2017 and a code of conduct for board members was drawn up in the same year. It is a little ironic that the code of conduct was produced at a time when board members were running around with knowledge of the financial situation and did not tell the rest of the board. A conflict of interest form was also developed at the time, according to Mr. Conway's statement. I wish to ask about conflicts of interest on the FAI board. What sorts of conflicts of interest do board members have to declare or is the decision left to the members? What conflicts of interest have been declared since the form was introduced? Was the loan declared as a conflict of interest? Has Mr. Delaney declared any other potential conflicts of interest to the board? This relates to governance which is in the committee's remit. For instance, it appears that board members have business dealings with each other. That seems strange. The former financial director has business dealings in property with Mr. Delaney, for instance. Does Mr. Conway not see any potential conflicts of interest there?
