Shane Ross: There was no real code of governance at all. Is that the case?

Shane Ross: Will Mr. Doyle tell the committee something about pay? Ms Kerins told the committee last time that her pay had not been reduced this year. Then, through her solicitor, she issued a letter last night, which, I imagine, the board members have seen, stating that this was incorrect, in other words, that she misled the committee on that.
