Mr. Kevin Kelly:

I have one small point to make. As I said earlier, I would not want anyone to think these by-laws were introduced overnight without any dialogue. There was a great deal of dialogue, contention and discussion over a 13-month period until the by-laws were eventually adopted. I acknowledge Ms Ní Ghóill's confirmation that I have always met people to discuss these issues. I want to respond to what she said about last Friday's discussions with the operator, which took place on the basis of the commercial viability of the enterprise. The discussions were meant to involve detailed financial consideration of the issue. I had indicated to Ms Ní Ghóill that I would raise the question of her group's attendance at the meeting. I would have had no difficulty with that. I understand she had already departed County Hall by the time the meeting started. On a personal basis, I have absolutely no problem talking to anybody at any point.
