There has been much talk about whether Mr. Quinn, in his role as a board member, should have approached the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Mr. Quinn provided a detailed letter to this committee in which he outlined the reasons he did not do so. I accept those reasons and will not question them. Mr. Quinn also stated that, in his opinion, the issues were being addressed by the board to his satisfaction. Having examined the PwC report, does Mr. Quinn still believe that to be the case? If this were all happening again, would he be more forceful in bringing that information to the attention of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform?
