Ms Ann Nolan:

Under the relationship framework that was before that, the fiduciary duty of the interests of the State was held by the independent board which had been appointed by the Government after the takeover or nationalisation of the IBRC. We did not get involved. In fact, the relationship framework was designed in such a way that we would not get involved in the ordinary day-to-day activities of the IBRC.
