I confirm that on every single occasion when Deputy Cullinane spoke on that topic, and to every institution, he did not suggest any wrongdoing or fault but that he just wanted to get the facts and to find out the policy that was being implemented. The Deputy raised the management of conflicts of interest on every occasion. We made it clear that we were not asking the individual about his own personal finances. That was made clear publicly as well. From that point of view, in terms of everything we did, we were doing our job on the day.
