Everybody is aware of what exactly is in play. You are sending a letter to a chair who you said you thought was really diligent and showed huge commitment. You know that if you are sending her a letter of censure that she has already stated she is going to resign. We are a couple of hours away from you going on "Prime Time". Are you happy with the questions and your commentary on "Prime Time", where you repeat the fact you were given inaccurate information but also that you were disappointed? We know that was obviously the issue the chair had, that you were sending a letter of disappointment. If I had more time I would ask you if you are happy you went on "Prime Time", are you reasonably happy you were asked the question, are you happy with the answer you gave, and are you happy that Siún Ní Raghallaigh resigned? Based on what happened that day and the questions you have asked, I cannot see any other way this was going to work out. You gave her no way out, and we had a forced resignation live on "Prime Time".
