What consequences will those people face? I am talking about people who raised false invoices, who engaged in a separate commercial deal and underwrote that deal, which they had absolutely no business doing and which cost the public purse a substantial amount, and who concealed those payments through a barter account that went to Astus, and then to the CMS Marketing account? The whole thing was, as the Chair said, designed to deceive. What consequences will there be, other than those people being told that they need to step aside and go off with their pensions? Where are the consequences because people are sick of the lack of accountability in corporate governance in this State? Once and for all, they want to see consequences, not a slap on the wrist and go off with a pension.
