Messrs Harding and Munro wanted Ken MacQuarrie to know how hard they'd tried to find candidates alongside Bashir, and seem to have shared this tale of utter incompetence to support their case.
"On or around 22 July 2016, Jonathan Munro and James Harding met with another external broadcast journalist for coffee to discuss, among other things, the Religious Affairs Correspondent role (Candidate Y). This was expressed internally to be on the same basis as Martin Bashir. Candidate Y subsequently expressed interest in the role and was given positive feedback. However, in contrast to Martin Bashir, no-one notified Candidate Y of the external advertisement until after the closing date for applications. On 9
September 2016, after chasing up the role, Candidate Y was asked if they wanted to still be considered for the role and told that an application was not necessary. Candidate Y confirmed they would still be interested. However, no-one responded to Candidate Y until 26 September 2016, shortly prior to the
announcement of Martin Bashir’s appointment."
