With regard to the medical devices company, and this is not a criticism of the report, but Ms McGuinness in her opening statement omitted to make reference to it in related undertakings and was not aware of the funds being accumulated by the Friends and Supporters of the CRC. The HSE is involved in capital projects with the CRC; they are funded out of Friends and Supporters of the CRC funds. I contend the HSE should have known. The HSE funds the revenue side of those projects and it is a partner in some of those projects. I want to be fair. I contend that Ms McGuinness should have known.
