I apologise for having to leave the meeting to attend a vote in the Seanad. I referred earlier to the Limerick fiasco. I acknowledge that my wording might have been a little strong. Will the delegates indicate how they intend to turn that situation around and how that particular element of the deficit will be addressed as a separate entity, if the plan is, in fact, to address it as such? I should have said earlier that I fully appreciate that both the chairman and CEO are relatively new to their positions. I acknowledge, too, that they have done a great deal of work since they came into their positions.
The Chairman outlined his role very clearly. It is non-executive. I respect that. In my opening remarks I failed to mention that. I want to say the same to the chief executive.
