I remind Deputy Brady, other members of the committee and everybody involved that the subject matter of the meeting with Mr. Fraser is to discuss specifically the timing of the proposal made to the Government on the matter of the appointment of Dr. Zappone as special envoy. This was the reason that the invitation was issued to the Secretary to the Government on a proposal of Deputy Brady and some other members. For the committee to engage in matters which were the subject of other Cabinet meetings of some time ago is not something that we can expect the Secretary to the Government to answer, nor indeed, is it under the remit of this committee at this point in time, if ever.
