Before I conclude, what stands out for me in all of this, going back to my time in Europe from 2009 to 2014 and again here today from reading the brief, is that when the vessel came into Ireland there was no obligation on the MSO to carry out a stability test because it was not necessary at that time. Could colleagues from the MSO who were there at the time have carried out simple tests that would have highlighted that there were stability issues?

If that had happened, we would not be here today.
