I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I have them all to myself today, apart from the Vice Chairman. While the committee agrees to a lot of different hearings, many members then fail to turn up. I acknowledge that Deputy Michael McGrath is attending to banking inquiring matters and I have been caught up in some of those as well. The core area the witnesses have in common with one another - they should correct me if I am wrong - is that the main concern is the holding of the appeal in public.
