Thank you. Mr. Kenny, the Fianna Fáil Party has been heavily criticised for hosting an annual fundraising initiative in a marquee in ... during Galway Race week, and it was said that many developers, including some of the biggest debtors in NAMA, were said to be there making contributions. Now, on 6 February 2011, Michael O'Farrell, correspondent with the Irish Mail on Sunday, under a heading revealed "Fine Gael secret cash from developers" said the following, and I quote, "An investigation by this paper has established that the party [that's Fine Gael] has been able to bring in up to €150,000 a time by hosting business men to lavish golf days at luxurious British and Irish courses." And Mr. O'Farrell goes on to mention the K Club and also to mention some of the biggest debtors in NAMA as being contributors, including major ... as well as major accountancy firms and a banker. Mr. Kenny, was the Fine Gael Party as close to sectors of the property industry and developers as Fianna Fáil allegedly was?
