Shane Ross

I think it's an issue.

But it's always been an issue.

You know, it was a monopoly for so long.

And it was a monopoly, really, until people like you came to challenge it and others.

And so, you know, it's kind of a permanent and unacceptable feature in some ways, certainly.

But I think the biggest issue here is to conquer this culture where nobody told anybody anything really that was going on.

And that goes back to...

They burned, certainly, and probably before it, but I don't know whether it happened.

I think you've got to be fair to him and give him a chance.

I think this is very important.

Shane Ross goes soft.

What is happening?

No, I've not gone soft on anybody.

I've been very critical of him in many other ways as well.

And I can tell you where I think he's gone really badly wrong.

But I think we're lucky in one sense, that he comes in clean as a whistle.

He wasn't involved in any of these things.

He was very lucky.

He actually didn't get the job.

He was very lucky that she did, I think, in the sense that he went off for a few years.
