Mr. David Gunning:

Shortly after the capital increase, there was also a special meeting in the Department of Health in Baggot Street between the members of the board and the Minister. As the chief executive, I also attended that particular meeting. The Minister also visited the site for the opening of the Ronald McDonald house charity and I had a chance to speak, as did other members. I know for a fact that our chair, Ms Fiona Ross, has extensive discussions with the Minister and she keeps me fully briefed in relation to those matters.
