Mr. Eugene Sheehy:

Mr. Forde reported to me and I decided, and I communicated with him in ... you know, it was a difficult communication. I have had, and I still have, great respect for him and all his professional abilities. I felt it was time for change in the ROI division. We needed to totally reorganise the amount of resources we were going to deploy around the problem and I had to change some personnel. My plan was that I would give Donal a strategic role, because we had so many strategic issues in front of us, and I had such regard for his abilities in that area - he was head of strategy before - that I was confident he could do a great job for us there. However, at that time, I was tasked with so many changing agenda items that I never really got round to give him the direction and accountabilities that I should have had.
