Okay. They were a team, as was evident in his statement last week, and the huge regard he had for Siún Ní Raghallaigh. However, if Ms Ní Raghallaigh misled the Minister in that room last week, which is clear - we have extrapolated here that she did, as far as the Minister is concerned - then so did Kevin Bakhurst. The Minister summoned them last Monday to discuss the process involved in the exit package for the top executives, such as Richard Collins. If the Minister was misled by the chair, she was misled by the director general. How can she express confidence in him, given that he was complicit as well?
