Okay. I will revert to this issue when I conclude. Does Mr. O'Brien believe it to be good practice for any State body, or senior executive therein, that will be paying a supplier certain amounts - I do not know how much - for services and goods to have flights abroad and accommodation paid for by that supplier? In future, public servants should not accept flights from suppliers. If a conference is running, then fine, but this is a supplier that will be approaching the organisation next month to sell it goods. Does Mr. O'Brien get the point?
