Mr. Barry is going forward with a new approach. I ask him to bear in mind my frustration on behalf of the ordinary person because in 2015 the committee was assured that this would not happen and it was reassured it would not happen each time representatives of the board appeared before it. On each appearance, new language is used. There is reference to moving on to a new phase. The board was appointed based on competency. We now realise it did not have the required competency. Mr. Quinn clearly and honestly disagrees with the finding. Does Mr. Barry agree with the finding by PwC of a lack of challenge to the executive and the design team?
