Professor Brennan is a very capable person, so I look forward to her report. I think she lectured me in commerce in UCD, so I know all too well how thorough she is.

I detected a note of acceptance of certain elements of responsibility from Mr. Ó Coigligh. I welcome that and I know he has been put under a lot of pressure here in this regard. Questions have been asked fairly and put on his shoulders.

To go back to what Deputy Geoghegan was outlining, the timelines would be sensitive as regards Mr. Ó Coigligh's making of the decision, considering elections and everything else. This may have been alluded to by others. Does he believe this was a factor?
