I think it should have done probably, but if that will not happen again, it is an improvement.

It seems that the HSE was kept in the dark according to Mr. Cregan's report about pretty well everything that is material to the discussion we are having today - perhaps Ms McGuinness might correct me. It was kept in the dark about the extent of Mr. Kiely's pay for several years. It was kept in the dark about the level of pay generally where top-ups were happening. It was kept in the dark specifically about Mr. Kiely's pay-off. It was kept in the dark about his successor's appointment and the pay he was getting. Would that be correct in all cases?
