Mr. Mark Griffin:

Can I come back to the statement that the former Minister, Deputy Naughten, made in the Oireachtas the other night. He has been quite clear, and my experience of the man over the two and a half years I worked with him, is, he is straight as a die. He has said that the national broadband plan was not discussed at any of those dinners, nor was there any canvassing. I, on the basis of a very close working relationship with him over two and half years, would accept his word.
