Chair, I need to know why the invitation issued to Sinn Féin, which was marked on the Teams website as “Invite to general secretary of Sinn Féin”, was addressed to Deputy Eoin Ó Broin. Deputy Ó Broin has confirmed to this committee meeting that he is neither the general secretary of the party, nor a member of the Ard Comhairle, nor a member of the national council and nor a trustee of the party. How did that happen? It should not have happened. It was marked to the general secretary. Deputy Ó Broin is not the general secretary of Sinn Féin. That should not have happened and I request that the general secretary of that party come before this committee, along with the secretaries general of People Before Profit and the Independent groups.
