Yes. We will proceed on that basis.

Before we move from the issue, I want to clarify another matter. Page 5 of the correspondence from the solicitor representing Mr. Flannery, and which is addressed to Mr. Ted McEnery, states that from information received by his client in and around 14 April 2014, it further appears that the committee and-or its Chairman, Deputy John McGuinness, either verbally or in writing requested the Revenue Commissioners to review all of his client’s financial dealings of whatsoever kind that he may have had with the Rehab Group. I want to reject that absolutely. I have not spoken to Revenue, nor have I written to Revenue as Chairman of this committee. I have done nothing of the sort. However, I ask that the members agree that the transcripts of the meetings we have held on Rehab be sent to the Revenue Commissioners, the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement and the accountancy body overlooking the standards and so on of the accountants of the country. For the sake of completeness, we should bring the matter to their attention if they want to examine the situation.
