The CFO of the IHRB is now unlikely to appear before this committee to account for the actions that were taken around that transfer of moneys from the injured jockeys fund. It is highly unlikely that we will ever get that person before the committee to account for the use of public moneys. That is why I think it should have been part of the discussion. Even if it was decided that we were in such a position that we had to accept the resignation when it arrived, it should certainly have been discussed because that accountability to the public purse is now, in all likelihood, lost. Mr. O'Shea was on voluntary leave over the past year. Does Mr. Gleeson know if he was on paid voluntary leave?
