I am not going to seek to trip up Mr. O'Loughlin in regard to what I just said but I think he needs to reflect on the term "voluntary leave". Perhaps on the next occasion, he might explain it to us in fuller terms, even if there remains a potential legal or employment claim. I do not think he has been best advised on the term. It is not a legal term, or certainly not one with which I am familiar.

To the representatives of HRI, some of the questions we had hoped to ask related to the 58% payment. Will they speak to their knowledge of that, the funding mechanism and the organisation’s role in that regard for IHRB?
