I am not finished. I want to make very clear to the Deputy and everybody else that we are all on the same side here in terms of getting the facts. We have to act within the law, regardless of whether we like it. I do not like having to inform the Deputy that he has to be careful about a question. If I did not do so, however, I would be in breach of my duty. The Deputy may not like to hear this but the fact is that the Supreme Court has commented on the role of the relevant Chairman in the Kerins case and I have to have due regard to all of the advice I have received. There is no big deal here.
