Ms Mary Moylan:
I understand there is a perception issue. All of us rely on our colleagues making the appropriate declarations. They were members of the board and, with hindsight, it probably would be better if they did not have these interests at the time but, as I said, it was a board of experts. They had been appointed for their expertise and in such cases it is difficult to avoid conflicts of interest in individual transactions.
