I am not a member of this committee so I thank you, Chairman, for allowing me to speak. I have a number of questions and I will make them very specific. Could Mr. O'Callaghan tell me whether he had any input into the re-appointment of some board members but not others? Likewise, did Ms Higgins have any input into that on any level whatsoever?

I will address my questions to Mr. O'Callaghan as the chairman. Someone said that when he came into Caranua in March 2014 that it was a shambles. I want to ask the questions. I have read the minutes - God help me, my life must be sad, but I have gone through all of the minutes on the bus to and from Galway.

We were told there was a memorandum of understanding, MOU, with Towards Healing. Mr. O'Callaghan told us the cut-off point was 80 sessions and above that, payment kicked in. Is that right?
