Why then did the witnesses not say so? Had they done so that would have cleared up all sorts of issues such as why it was or was not discussed and whether there was consensus. What the witnesses are seeking is the deletion of paragraph 10(i) on page 65 and the amendment of the reference to nine years cumulative experience. That clears up that issue.

I thank the witnesses for their presentation. Am I correct that the Irish League of Credit Unions represents 3 million members? Does that mean 3 million people of our 4.5 million population are members of the credit union movement?
