I am conscious and appreciative, Minister, that you and your officials have come before us to address this issue. From having listened to it, what is clear is that there was a breakdown in trust between yourself and the chair. When there is a breakdown in trust between a Minister and a chair, with respect, there is only one eventual outcome, namely, that the chair is likely to have to go. At any stage previously in the relationship that you had with her, did Siún Ní Raghallaigh offer to resign or did the Minister seek her resignation?
