I appreciate that but this is a matter of considerable public concern. Mr. Quinlan referred to being asked to depart. Nobody asked him to depart from the legislation. The witnesses are highly qualified people. If legislation asks to stipulate a location, what would be their understanding of location? If I asked them where they are right now, would they say they are in Ireland or in a committee room in Leinster House? I cannot be clearer than that. Does Mr. Quinlan believe that it would be expected of an interested party that the term "location" would stipulate the exact location or the general bay area?
