If that is the case, then Mr. O'Flynn should explain the reason SIPTU did not take ownership and possession of the Grant Thornton report. To be honest with Mr. O'Flynn, it is as though we are in a play that resembles Hamlet without the prince with regard to Mr. Merrigan. It is as though participants in this meeting are in the play "Hamlet" without actually having sight of 'Hamlet' the character. The whole thing is farcical because we are talking in riddles here. Mr. O'Flynn should explain to me in legal terms the reason and the process by which SIPTU does not have ownership of the Grant Thornton report, because that report is significant. One does not pay €76,000 for a report unless it is pretty significant, detailed and costed. Under its terms of reference, to whom was Grant Thornton reporting?
