I appreciate that. I thank Mr. Gunning for his time. I will now turn to Ms Nugent. While I appreciate she spoke about transparency and openness in her opening statement and I appreciate the approach she has taken, maybe I am wrong but when we speak about training and preparation for meetings like this and then use those words in the same line as openness and transparency, it is a bit unfortunate. We are trying to come at this from an open and transparent point of view. I hope the purpose of that training was not to go against that. She spoke about the Government practice to appoint chief executives to State bodies on five-year contracts. We have heard about that this morning. Who instigated the mediation process with regard to the former CEO's position?
