Okay. There is a text from Katherine Zappone on 4 March stating, "thank you so, so much for offering me this incredible opportunity. It will be such a privilege and I will be so proud to serve Ireland again." What did the Minister offer her? That was a job offer. It is quite unbelievable that the Minister offered that position to Katherine Zappone and then on 23 July there were internal emails within his Department regarding trying to create some sort of UN envoy position relating to human rights. Am I right in saying that the Minister offered Katherine Zappone a job on or around 4 March?
