There are no restrictions on the four people joining Mr. Kissane. If they wish to make their statements, they are more than welcome to do so. That is the purpose of the meeting. I agree with Mr. Kissane and applaud each of the delegates for being brave enough to come here, given how they have been treated by the banks. They will be respected here and receive a hearing.
