It was ... the principal reason for getting together was to have a discussion around the issues that I've already referenced in answer to, to Senator O'Keeffe's question, the kind of issues that, that Alan Gray had tabled in, in the agenda of items that we wanted to cover. That was the principal purpose ... was, however people may view the individuals who had been gathered, and whatever perception people may have those ... have of those individuals, the, the intention was that the Taoiseach would be able to draw down on their views, their expertise, across a number of key issues facing him, in terms of the economy at that point. And, the game of golf was very much a, kind of ... I wouldn't say an afterthought, because it was all stitched together, but the game of golf was purely to get him out for a bit of fresh air, and then we would reconvene over dinner. It didn't ... it didn't discommode those who weren't golfers, because they went away for a few hours and did something. And they knew in advance that was ... what was happening. So, I'm not really sure that I can enlighten you any further, other than what I've said already, in respect of this, now infamous, event.
