Yes, but what I am trying to find out - Deputy O'Connell raised the same question - is the extent to which the interests and concerns in, and views on, all that we are now discussing were represented at those board meetings. Ms Conroy's answer is that it was not those boards' responsibility, but it was. If there is a project, and a very expensive one as it now happens, it would naturally follow that all people who have an influence over or interest or concern in it should be advised at the same time. They obviously were not.
