Essentially, back in December, Mr. Hill denied ever requesting the payments and he sought to quote the former CFO, stating, "Jonathan requesting to be paid out of unused holidays." We have the evidence here today with regard to what the former CFO has said. This email also includes a caveat warning: "Our normal policy is not to. It is use them or lose them." That is substantially different from what we heard on 13 December last. Does Mr. Keohane agree that this request was driven by Mr. Hill? It was against the standard FAI employee rulebook that Mr. Hill and Mr. Roy Barrett signed off on. Does Mr. Keohane feel this is a poor level of leadership that has left Mr. Hill answering further questions and clarifying his position here today?
