Can Mr. Gleeson not say how many of them came from the United States, Sandyford and the Coombe? I would imagine that figure is in his head somewhere and that he knows it. If he does not, he is not doing a proper job. That is a fundamental question in terms of what was said in 2008. Mr. O'Brien misrepresented Dr. Gibbons and the obstetrician when he said that that is not what they predicted. They predicted that in about ten years' time we would see the results of poor-quality testing that had been outsourced to America. That is what Dr. Gibbons argued at the time. We are seeing that now but what we are also seeing is an attempt to cover it up. That is why we want to know what was reported to whom on which I have a few questions to ask.
