I acknowledge that. I accept, as Mr. O'Flynn states, that two current employees of SIPTU travelled on trips. I am trying to find out whether there was any way other than through the account that SIPTU could have been notified or could have seen that there was something going on. I accept Mr. O'Flynn's point that if there are trips on which Department of Health officials are travelling, one assumes their bona fides.

With regard to the two trips on which SIPTU employees went, who did they think was paying for them? In the course of Mr. O'Flynn's inquiries, did he find out whether they felt these trips were worthwhile?
