Mr. Eugene O'Callaghan:

We are very keen that the marketplace in general would engage with us. A formal proposal in a bound document is not necessary. Much of the time the process commences with a telephone call and an idea, following which the proposal is drawn up on a couple of pages which we then review. We work with the party seeking the finance to help shape and develop the proposal. I must emphasise that we are not looking for perfection on day one, far from it. Ideas and concepts on day one is perfect.
