Mr. Cooper made a point about significant events and the culture that provision will create at board level in regard to suspicion and worry. Will he elaborate on how that would impact on the day-to-day operation of the board, coming back to the comment Deputy Ó Cathasaigh made about people being afraid to express a concern at board level because they will feel that all of a sudden, there is an obligation on them to report to the regulator? What will be the practical reality of that? If individual board members are reporting issues to the charity regulator, it will create within any board an issue of suspicion and worry. How, realistically, can a voluntary board, in particular, operate on a day-to-day basis if that type of culture exists at that level within the organisation?
