I think we should so that we can deal with issues relevant to the correspondence today. The point I made earlier is that in one piece of correspondence it refers to due diligence at €58,999 and in the Munster technical university project it refers to due diligence at €350,185 and in the south east due diligence is at a cost of €42,742. When one sees the figures across the range of activities within that sector there is a huge difference. The separate issues raised by a whistleblower in correspondence can be set out and it is clear there is an issue but the presentation of the letter from Mr. Ó Foghlú would lead one to believe there were no issues in this sector and I believe there are. In the context of that meeting we should ask Mr. Kelly and Mr. Ó Foghlú also to come in so that we can deal with matters beyond those dealt with there. Are we agreed on our work programme? We will probably launch the report the week after that.
