Mr. Conor Murphy:

Yes. I joined the board in March 2020 just before Covid kicked off. In terms of the working relationship, I agree with Ms Doherty that we were always having to ask a lot of questions. The way I would characterise it is that I was always trying to pull information out of the organisation. We were definitely in the dark in terms of the barter account. That was a big shock and surprise. Kudos to the audit and risk committee for bringing that to the board as quickly as possible, and for all the work that has happened since then.

The change is apparent in the actions that have been taken on the back of the revelations and all of the reports that have been done. In particular, Mr. Bakhurst coming in has brought a really open, transparent, collaborative and proactive level of engagement with the board in which he is pushing a lot more information to us. We have had a lot more meetings. I definitely feel he is playing a fantastic role and the interim leadership team has really begun to drive change.

I think a lot more legacy issues will come out in the third Grant Thornton report and all the other reports that we will have to deal with. As we look towards the future, I am very excited to hear more from Mr. Bakhurst and the team on their strategy plan and how we can help investigate that and ask the questions to help to toughen that up so that we can collaborate with the leadership team to help the strategy plan to be as strong as possible when it comes back to the committee and the Oireachtas for review.
