Mr. Martin Shanahan:

I can certainly respond to the Deputy and the committee in writing on that matter. I do not have the details relating to it to hand. My understanding is that one of the reasons they are not included in the annual report - I will verify this for the Deputy - is that there would be company specifics involved and that might pose a difficulty from a commercial perspective. In the context of companies, we do not normally disclose commercial dealings. However, that is not the case with regard to individual board members who may have been conflicted. In so far as it does not create a commercial issue, we would obviously be delighted to provide the relevant information.
