I was talking in general. I was not even referring to the contradictions in respect of the reports and dates. Does each of the witnesses stand over the evidence they have given to date? I will presume if I do not hear anything else, the answer is "Yes". Do the witnesses have confidence in each another and in the board? If I do not hear anything else, I will take it that, yes, the witnesses all have confidence in each another and in the evidence given to date.

I see what has happened in recent weeks in respect of the sale of Harold's Cross, given the board that is in place, as a cross-subsidy. I do not have confidence in the board and I feel that this is double jeopardy in respect of this action. Deputy Cassells' questioning of Mr. Creed about the bank situation leaves me totally bewildered. There is certainly something that needs to be added. The witnesses need to reflect on that. Will Mr. Murnane provide evidence of what he said on the previous occasion about the sale of the Meelick site? I would like to check it.
