I think that is a very good suggestion, because you were not given an answer to that line of questioning. I am working on the assumption that Rehab will furnish us with all of the information, following the 13 points that we have now put to them. We were very clear that we wished for Mr. Flannery and the remuneration committee to appear before us. They may or may not have been asked and I take your point, a Chathaoirligh, that we need to clarify that. In addition, I suggest we reissue the invitation to both Mr. Flannery and the remuneration committee. We might receive the information first and then invite them in again. Ms Kerins said last week that she would be in a position to answer any manner of question with equal proficiency to a member of the remuneration committee, but that did not prove to be the case. She could not even explain an increase in her own salary, so we did not get the answers and we still need to see the people we initially wished to see, namely, Mr. Flannery and the members of the remuneration committee. The timing of this would of course have to be sequenced with the receipt of the information, but I wish to make that proposal to the committee.
