Are any of the seven witnesses a personal friend of Dee Forbes? Do they socialise with her? Do they meet her? I am sure when one is working in a business, especially with 1,800 people, and wants to ask a few questions, sometimes it is handy to go outside RTÉ and have a cup of tea. Was any kind of socialising done whatsoever? I know she is off today because of sickness. One does not throw one's friends under a bus. Eventually, the truth of what happened will come out. I find it so hard to understand how the seven people sitting in the room do not know anything. If the witnesses all worked for me, they would not be working for me tomorrow, because look at the titles they have. I am not going to start talking about wages and everything else. I get enough abuse about wages as a Deputy. Something is seriously wrong. Can the witnesses tell me what is wrong? There has to be something wrong. Can the chairperson tell me what is wrong?
