Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes, and I articulated in my report to the Minister - and again, I have been very clear it is not illegal to hold a directorship of a company - that there are standards public servants have to adhere to in terms of declarations to avoid conflicts of interest. My chief internal auditor did one simple analysis for me. It is not by any means finished. This showed that of approximately 140 companies, there is a total of more than 300-odd directors, and 93 directorships held by 83 people were either serving or former HSE employees.
