The chairperson is aware that both of his predecessors resigned from their role as full-time chairperson and I wish him better luck. That is Dr. Frances Lucy, as interim chairperson, and Mr. Fintan Gorman before that in April. Does Professor Collins intend to contact his predecessors to get a better feel of issues and the circumstances of their resignations? Certainly, the last resignation by Dr. Frances Lucy, as interim chairperson, made the board inquorate and led to its dismissal. I know the board at that time was carrying out a series of investigations, got legal advice and, as I understand it, was making very serious decisions which fell because the board became inquorate. Does Professor Collins intend to look back on board documents or minutes or engage with his predecessors?
