I ask the entire board whether anyone raised the issue that no meetings of the remuneration committee were taking place. By the way, this is a remuneration issue.

All of this exploded. It is going to cost the organisation €50 million because of massive failings relating to remuneration. The board needs to start owning this. I have heard of plenty of scapegoats and people thrown under buses but the board is in charge of oversight. Did anybody on the board raise the fact that the remuneration committee only met a handful of times and broke its own rules over the past five years? I have asked a simple question. Nobody seems to have raised this matter. Did someone raise it and, if so, what happened? Did the secretary raise it?
