Mr. Derek Moran:

At board level we receive the board packs and get to attend. In terms of material transactions, consent had to be provided. In the case of transactional reviews and the deleveraging committee, where previously the Department would not have been attending, it attended and observed and received the information at a current time. There was a significant set of changes within the arrangements. The Department was far more hands-on and had far more information available to it.
