Have you got a direct quote for that?

Btw take a look at ISA's "About Us" section --
<http://www.software.ie/Sectors/ISA/ISADoclib3.nsf/vLookupHTML/About_Us_Executive_Council?OpenDocument>,
which hasn't been updated yet:

  ISA Executive Committee
  Chairperson
  Cathal Friel Merrion Corporate Finance

  Vice Chair
  Bernadette Cullinan Performix Technologies
  Tom Rourke CSC

Cathal Friel was the guy who recycled the MS party line in that MS ad
supplement.   So he's no longer chair, and the vice chair is now in.
Make of that what you will. ;)
