No matter how many times Mr. Daly trots out the line about the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, it does not make any material difference to the question I put as to whether the word "boycott" was used. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission would be investigating whether something actually happened. What is in the public domain that we know about from the leaked documents was that it did not happen because there was strong legal advice at the meeting that the organisation needed to stop there. One of the lines in it was that the discussion could give rise to a dawn raid by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission and its members. Obviously the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission was not able find any adverse findings against Nursing Homes Ireland because it did not happen, but that does not mean there was not discussion on it. I have gone through all the articles in all the media coverage. There is no doubt that the legal opinion given at the meeting was that there was serious concern about being in breach of competition rules because of some of the language that was being used and the direction in which the meeting was going. Is that not right?
