I believe Nursing Homes Ireland did have a conference call, but my main point is that Mr. Daly's statement, "Key State organisations left the nursing home sector and its residents isolated in those early days", is patently and obviously untrue.

My second point relates to Nursing Homes Ireland's directors. It has 12, all of whom are business people. I looked at their accounts and there are wealthy companies represented among those directors, who are very fine people in every respect. Some €23.3 million was the profit of eight of those directors in the last accounting year. I cannot get the accounts of the other directors because they are part of other companies. Is it fair to say that the nursing homes sector is a privately funded organisation and has a great deal of money to pay for, for example, PPE, testing, staff accommodation and extra staff in this crisis?
