Mr. Francis Doherty:

The board sought to reprimand me on 29 September 2023 when it asked for a meeting. At the start of the meeting, it told me that it was the board's position that it wanted to reprimand me but had decided not to formally do so. For the purpose of the rest of the meeting, it surely felt like I was being reprimanded. Thereafter, the letter issued to say that I could in effect not talk to any stakeholder about the financial situation of the organisation. I was to return and focus on the day-to-day operations of the organisation, which were incredibly difficult to do without talking about finances because we were unable to get creditors or suppliers to deliver services without paying them. It felt like a condition that was deliberately put in place so I would breach it at some point or other and be removed.
