-----from the Department of Finance. It was an FOI I received two months ago and nothing else. Going back to the 2018 letter, I am struck by the absence of acknowledgement of or response to that letter because its content was quite serious. I invite the witnesses to talk about that. If I am correct in my memory, that letter talked about the safety of members of the board and the anxiety and stress appellants and their families are going through. Was a rationale given by the Department for ignoring the board reaching out at that time?
