The then Minister, Deputy Ryan, made that decision in order to try to progress the issues and move on. However, those board members were left in a position where they were no longer members of a board, no longer able to attend the Committee of Public Accounts and no longer able to, in a public way, put forward their position on the matter. We left them, in many ways, very vulnerable in these circumstances. Is that fair?
