Mr. Alan Gray:

I didn't, Deputy, for a number of reasons. I was ... if I had been asked to attend a meeting on banking or Anglo Irish, I certainly would. But I was asked to attend a meeting where the chairman of Anglo Irish Bank was there and the chief executive of Smurfit Kappa - I wasn't even aware that he was a director of Anglo Irish Bank - and Mr. Fintan Drury, who was a friend and adviser to the Taoiseach on communication issues. I have been invited by many different Ministers and Taoiseachs to attend meetings, and I don't have a say... I don't control who the other attendees are but I did not see any difficulty with this.
