Mr. Alan Gray:

I had no difficulty in the location of the meeting, Senator. I would have met respective Ministers of all parties in different locations. I remember, when I was a young economist, being invited by Dr. Garret FitzGerald when he was Taoiseach, to meet him in his house in Palmerston Road.

I was given the directions to the location of this off-site meeting. I'd never been to the house before. I've never been to the house since. It was a logistic issue, I understood, because it was a few minutes away from Druids Glen, and I had been informed that the ... some of the other parties were going to play golf subsequently which, as you know from my statement, I wasn't invited.
