Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I have drawn attention to this before. For many years, an individual has been providing secretarial services but that service has not been competitively procured. At the same time, that individual was acting as the chair of the audit committee. That created a conflict of roles. The payments to the chair of the audit committee were considerably in excess of levels that would normally be paid for that kind of function.
