I will come back to the board now. I will start with Mr. Barry, who is new to the board. The report seems to suggest that there was a lack of challenge, and of robust discussion and debate on serious issues, at board level. I will bring Mr. Quinn in on this matter in a moment. Does Mr. Barry agree that the PwC report points to an apparent lack of ability to challenge across all the reporting mechanisms that were in place, notwithstanding the significant expertise that was available? It seems that the level of challenge was not sufficient and was not in keeping with what would have been expected. I refer, for example, to the documentation that the board was provided with. Is that a fair interpretation of what the report finds? What is Mr. Barry's view of that finding?
