Mr. Jim Nugent:

I wish to make a statement. A director of the Central Remedial Clinic and any other company associated with it, even the lottery company which is at arm's length, is not allowed any remuneration or expenses. If there is a CRC function in Waterford and I want to be at it, I will pay my own expenses. There are no perks or junkets. This is a rule which has been in place from the beginning and we are religious about it. I would like to get this out of the way.
