We have agreed that we will change the date but, as Deputy Murphy pointed out, if people are invited to this committee, there is an expectation that they will come. I am aware that the derby is happening but, as I said, unless they are running in the derby themselves, surely they could find a staff member who can come. The races happen on a Saturday. I am at a loss as to why they cannot provide somebody for a couple of hours on a Thursday morning. I would like to see organisations that are invited to appear before the committee taking the invitations more seriously.
