Ms Maureen Kennelly:

In cases where there is evidence of wrongful, illegal or harmful behaviour, we seek to reassure ourselves that all necessary steps have been taken by the organisation in line with their HR policies. As I said earlier, we are asking organisations to comply and we are scoring them on this. Each will be looked at on its own merits but we look to the organisations to reassure us they have taken all necessary steps with regard to the staff member or board member in question.
