That was the question I was going to ask. A number of weeks ago the committee wrote to the Minister about a recommendation it made based on extensive discussion, that is, the reappointment of a person from HomeBond on the Buildings Regulation Advisory Board. It was the view of the committee, given the manner in which HomeBond approached the issue, specifically its absolute refusal to come before the committee, as a result of which members were quite correctly incensed, that we recommend HomeBond not be considered for reappointment to the board. HomeBond has almost added insult to injury. The Minister might consider that in the context of his reply to Deputy Corcoran Kennedy.
