Mr. Peter Sheridan:

I received an invitation two days ago to attend the meeting. I have accepted that Co-operation Ireland will attend although I have had to point out that some of our board members have objected to that. Nevertheless, as an organisation, the board members are aware that I have staff here in Dublin and that we do a lot of our business across the Border. Some of our members have objected to us attending it and I put that in writing to the Taoiseach's office to make the organisers aware of it but Co-operation Ireland will be present.
