Professor Ahearne is very welcome. In November 2008, The Irish Times called Professor Ahearne "the economist who told you so". That area of his work is very important, and I want to go into it today, but another area of his work that was also very important was when he was working for the then Minister, Brian Lenihan, as an adviser. He wrote about that in a chapter of a book published recently. With Professor Ahearne's agreement, I was hoping to get some facts on the record about that period that could help us better prepare for the next stage of the inquiry in mapping out the work we would like to do.
