We know from previous hearings here that key players within the HR department were complicit in many of the activities that occurred. From the board’s point of view, is it concerning that these changes have not taken place? We saw quite a serious change of personnel in certain areas, for example, in finance, but that has not happened in HR. In my opinion, there is something very wrong in the HR department. In my dealings with workers and the way they have been treated, particularly when they try to highlight their treatment, there is a serious problem. I take this opportunity to highlight my concern as a member of the Oireachtas committee to Mr. O’Rourke as chair of the board. I think that is one of the first places he needs to start looking. I honestly feel there is need for radical further scrutiny by the board in terms of the activities there. I certainly would not have confidence in that area going forward.
