I thank the witnesses for appearing today. In relation to the opening statement, while I appreciate the chairman's apology, I wishfully thought that the delay was because the manager was being appointed, but there is still no white smoke on that either. Hopefully, that will be in the next little while because it has been a long time coming.

In terms of the delay with the opening statement, the witnesses referred to seeking legal advice. Either Mr. Keohane or Mr. Hill can respond to this. Was that legal advice pertaining to the employee or to current employees of the FAI? Who exactly was the legal representation for? Was it for the entity itself or for covering employees, past and present?
