It seems to me that there is no way out of this mess if we carry on because you guys have a veto. Mr. MacSharry has said he will continue to act primarily in the interests of the company. On a number of occasions, he has stated that he finds himself bound by company law. There is clearly a conflict between his loyalty or requirement to serve the best interests of the company as against the interests of those mortgage holders we are talking about.
