I will take it, because I know that Deputy Durkan will be watching the clock. I thank the witnesses for their time today. I know they have given a considerable amount of time, and that they are all under pressure. Let us call a spade a spade. It is the issue everyone is discussing and it is a national crisis, so I appreciate their time. I also appreciate their frankness. There have probably been some learnings today for Mr. Connaghan and that will continue tomorrow, trust me. I am one of the few people who are on both committees. I wish to say to Dr. O'Keeffe that we will probably need more information by tomorrow about the relevant teams, what they did and how the issue was escalated.

My question relates to the national performance oversight group. This issue surely came up in the group's work. How did it come up? What was dealt with? What was done? Can we have the minutes of meetings relating to this period please?
