While Mr. Boland says that everything is sub judiceand that he does not want to discuss the meeting or any aspect or the particulars of it, he is well able to mention at this meeting the extreme extravagance involved. Mr. Boland has made a very pointed statement regarding Professor Byrne but will not elaborate beyond that. He has just said it and I have written it down. I believe that was a mistake - if one is going to say nothing then say nothing. Mr. Boland has actually coloured the situation by repeating that observation. That is just a point.
