Mr. Brendan Rogers:

We did a review of this as well and sought feedback, as the Deputy is aware. We then had a review process in which we brought in someone externally, who had not been available to carry out the initial appraisals. In fact, even the appraisals themselves were carried out by independent people and we had two who came back.
