We need to move on. As Chair of the Committee of Public Accounts, with due respect, Deputy McGuinness would be well aware that when witnesses come before us, we expect them to have information available. If there were three trips abroad with his wife, which were paid for by the State, and two were being dealt with, it would be reasonable to expect that the Deputy would feel it would arise on the order of business today. It is the nub of the point that is in the public domain. That is a general point.
