Mr. John Concannon has been mentioned a number of times. There is no doubt he is a talented individual - we all accept that - so any questions raised in respect of him are not personal and certainly not a reflection on his ability. There is no doubt he is a person of great ability. Mr. Fraser stated Mr. Concannon was head-hunted and appointed by the Taoiseach, which is fine. Was he a civil servant at the time?
