I thank both speakers for the comprehensive nature of their presentations. I will be going to members of the committee shortly. I ask them to keep their contributions to four minutes and I will try to do the same myself. I have a question for Mr. McKenna on the phone call to Mr. Keegan. Mr. McKenna's statement this morning clearly states that verbal assurances were given by the city manager that five concerts would be supported by Dublin City Council. That is at odds with and in total contradiction of what was said to us here yesterday. Does Mr. McKenna have any other evidence to confirm his assertion in this regard? The public will ask who they are supposed to believe. Perhaps Mr. McKenna could take that point first, which is the big question.
