Dr. Smyth is speaking to a platform where everybody's salary is published on an annual basis, usually multiple times, in national various national media publications. The GDPR is a cop-out in my view. I do not know whether there is an appreciation within the Department of the damage that is being done to a sport that everybody in this meeting has a great affinity for due to a lack of transparency.

I accept that I will not get an answer to that question, but I want to put on the record that it is something I will not drop. Does Dr. Smyth accept, in respect of the regulatory board, that the make up of directors is not good practice and does little in terms of building public confidence?
