Mr. Doherty said it was only after he took up the role that he got a small amount of insight into the finances at an AGM where it was incorrectly stated that the organisation could not be handed over to Mr. Doherty in better financial health. It obviously became apparent that was not the case. Was there any other sort of due diligence that Mr. Doherty was allowed to look in on just to assess the financial and governance health of the organisation before he took up the role or was that not on the table at all for him?
