That is fine. I am sorry for cutting Mr. McEnery off at times but my time is short and I mean no disrespect. Clearly, he is the go-to person in a number of these matters. If I were setting up a nursing home or negotiating a price or dealing with health related economics, I would look to him to help me. The fact that he declares what he undertakes to do in his business and in all his roles is admirable and transparent, but whether that is a conflict of interest is a completely different matter and I have substantial concerns. We have established from his engagement with Deputy McDonald that while having advised Nursing Homes Ireland in the past, he is not currently on record for it, to use a legal term. Is that correct?
