John Brady: My final question relates to the ex-CEO. I find it astonishing that this individual has been moved into a position. A number of members made reference to a position that was created to suit the individual. Was there a job description before that appointment?

John Brady: I appreciate that. Those are all the questions I have for now. I am conscious of the time. I know members are anxious, if possible, to try to ask supplementary questions, but I put the questions to our witnesses in the first instance because I know some of them are under time pressure. If our witnesses are available to hold on for another half an hour or thereabouts, we will restrict the...

John Brady: I have a couple of concluding questions. On the implications for missing the fifteenth revised timeline, are there any financial consequences for missing that deadline? It was referenced in real terms. Mr. Gunning made reference to the three levers that are open to the development board but what are the financial consequences, if any, for the missing the latest timeline?

John Brady: I appreciate that. The 16 top claims that Mr. Gunning referenced equate to approximately €800 million.

What is the nature of that individual's contract? It was stated that he is out on leave since late 2023 in receipt of full salary. What is that...
