I would have thought it was a question to which there was a "Yes" or "No" answer. As an observation, I think the former CEO of the FAI, Mr. John Delaney, has behaved disgracefully today. He came in with a last minute statement. He knows the procedures for this committee. He has furnished us with a statement but is refusing to answer any questions on that statement. He is also refusing to answer questions that are ongoing in respect of his time as CEO. What has been going on here has been an absolute disgrace and farcical. The only good thing is that the public have witnessed these events first-hand as well. I would have thought that anybody would have been glad to be handed the opportunity to put the record straight. Mr. Delaney, however, has not taken up that opportunity.
