I assume Mr. McDonagh always is. I always make that assumption. This is probably the most public information that has been placed on the record of any committee of the Oireachtas with regard to what this organisation is proposed to do and how it will be composed. I thank Mr. McDonagh for that. Clearly, this was a role that he was interested in. Barring the media controversy, the cack-handed way in which the Minister for housing handled this, how it was represented in the media and the disputes that clearly emerged between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, would Mr. McDonagh have taken this role? He clearly was interested.
