I second that. You and your team - the clerk, secretary and others - did a very good job. It was streamed live. RTE contacted me yesterday and I confirmed it was happening. RTE was there today as well. It was very good and the streaming idea was brilliant. The fact that you opened it to our diaspora around the world allowed anybody who wished to get involved with the discussion to get in direct contact with the Chairman and members. It was a good exercise and I hope we can launch more reports as effectively as it was done this morning.

It was particularly appropriate given that the European craft has landed on the comet. We are very much with it today.

One of our Irish people, a Westmeath man, is involved in the joint promotion of that campaign. He is joint developer of the project.
