Mr. Paul Gallagher:

In response I would say that an individual came forward with a very significant list of issues. The institute engaged with that individual as best we could. The individual has subsequently taken a High Court action against the institute, which we are defending strongly. There was huge overlap in this whole area at the time between anonymous letters and a particular individual.
