Mr. Joe O'Flynn:
Yes. I did inquire. One of the reasons I took a degree of comfort that they were bona fides was the fact that it was people who were at very senior level within the Department of Health, the Department of Finance and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government who participated in those trips. The majority of the people who travelled on the trips apparently were public servants rather than anybody else. It is fair to say that if one is advised there were very senior people within Departments participating in these study visits, one would assume there was merit in them and that they were bona fides.
