I put it to Mr. Blair that not only should he have a knowledge of West Register but he was a director of two of the companies of West Register and that can be confirmed using an iPad or a phone at this point. Under SoloCheck, Mr. Blair is listed as the director of West Register (Republic of Ireland) Property Limited, and he was also the director of West Register (Northern Ireland) Property Limited. If he wants me to let him know I can tell him the date he was appointed and the date he resigned from that company. To come here and blank us in response to basic questions on West Register when he was a director of both companies is just unbelievable. It is not acceptable. Will Mr. Blair correct the record? I can tell him the dates or give him the names of the other board members as that might help to refresh his memory that he was indeed a director of West Register, which he denied earlier to my colleague, Senator Horkan.
