I want to turn to a quote that's been given by several members of the committee to different witnesses from Shane Ross's book, The Bankers, the prologue, 26 November 2008, page 1. It's about a gathering that took place some place around St. Stephen's Green and the banking crisis:

The banking crisis was at fever pitch. The nation's finances were in peril but Ireland's banking elite were celebrating in a private room in a discreet hostelry near Dublin's Stephen's Green.

You were reported as being one of those who was in attendance at that particular event. Is that correct?
