Mr. Brian Conlan:

I must stress again that I was not aware of Paul Kiely's pension arrangements. Those pension arrangements were made by the remuneration committee of the CRC of which I was not a member and in which I had no hand, act or part to play.

With regard to CRC Medical Devices, it is quite the opposite. I rescued a potential loss of €600,000 by my actions over the four or five months I was there.
