I wish to go back to the point about the Companies Act. I accept the issues concerning the committees and clubs, but this is a commercial operation. That is the question. Its governance is completely and absolutely inadequate. The question of continuity does not arise in my view. They should all go. I understand the emphasis on Mr. Horan's work, which I respect and acknowledge. I do not think there is enough work in the report regarding obligations under the Companies Acts, the duties of the board of directors and how those directors will be monitored in future. If that is a respectful and fair point to make I would be delighted if the witnesses would come back to us with more work on the issues in the organisation which are absent from the report at the moment, even if that will take until the autumn.
