Okay. With regard to the issuing of the false invoices, Mr. Kelly would be acutely aware of the responsibilities for company directors to ensure their actions are legal, ethical and in the best interests of the company, and the due diligence that must be applied. There is an onus of responsibility on Mr. Kelly in that regard. He has stated from the outset, and has held the line on this, that he was acting under the instruction of RTÉ and it is on that basis those invoices were issued. Ignorance is no defence in law. Does Mr. Kelly still stand over the assertion that he was doing his job appropriately while not providing any due diligence and no legal oversight? Does he still stand over saying that those invoices were correct and that he did his job appropriately?
