I agree with what Deputy Murphy said. It is a shame that we have come to this point. This story has dragged on for more months than it ever needed to. It has now become a pitched battle between this committee and the two individuals concerned, which is extremely unfortunate. The only people who are really losing out are those in the charity sector as a whole because this matter will drag on for another few weeks. There is not a lot more to talk about. The committee has decided that it is to go down the route proposed anyway. Let us just do so and move on. Let us see what arises in the coming weeks.
