You organised the event. Brian Cowen was going, and understood he was going, to have a round of golf - how many holes is still questionable - with yourself and Seánie FitzPatrick. You decided to have a private meeting with five individuals, then go for a round of golf, which takes, if it's nine holes, about two hours, and then continue the meeting afterwards, at a later stage over, over dinner or tea. Does it seem as if that's not the best way to organise a meeting? Usually, if I were to do it, I would organise the golf beforehand or afterwards. But, you decided to put the golf, which would leave a number of your participants sitting, waiting for you to come in from the, the ninth hole or the 18th hole, depending how far you got.
