It appears to me, and this is reminiscent of what we saw last summer, right throughout the sessions we have had, that the level of scapegoating of those who do not attend the sessions is extraordinary. It is through the roof. As I said, Ms O'Leary mentioned the fact that Mr. Coveney, Mr. Collins and the then director general, Ms Forbes, circumvented the whole process in signing off on Toy Show The Musical.I want to highlight the level of scapegoating. Ms Cusack said:

It is a fact that a separate and confidential arrangement was entered into between the former Director-General and the former CFO ... As such, I believed that this exit would be compliant with the scheme. ... I took the instruction in good faith.

In other words, Ms Cusack did not ask any questions. She is saying this is the former DG's fault and she has absolutely nothing to do with it.
