There was a development on Cape Verde, an island off the coast of Africa. During his tenure, Mr. O'Regan's newspaper ran one article per month between the end of 2005 and 2006 on this development. I cite this as an example of the kind of promotion given to a particular form of property development because I want to ask him about it. How did the journalists get to Cape Verde and what kinds of payment were involved? It was also being promoted by the cousins of a columnist for the Sunday Independent. This is an interesting example of some of the matters covered by his newspaper at the time.
