I have two brief points. The representatives told me previously that they were the new board and they would examine the manner in which the site was purchased at Meelick despite the fact that there was prior information that it was unusable for the purpose for which it was purchased, how that type of perverse decision could have been made which seems to have been a negligent squandering of taxpayers’ money and that they would come back to us with a report on that. Can they also come back to us with some level of continuity between the boards in the sense that in the introductory remarks it was stated that these were legacy issues from the old board? Therefore, it is trying to deal with them but there is the sense that this is the legacy of the old board and that they can wash their hands of it to a degree. There should be some continuity in that we would not have a totally new board that would say these were legacy issues.
