Okay, Deputy. Thank you very much. I just want to ... just before I bring in the two leads to wrap up, Mr. Davitt, just to kind of deal with the conflict of interest issue, in maybe a different sphere. And one of the purposes of the inquiry here is looking at best practice going into the future - and looking at practice in the past - but also to look at the nexus of relationships. And in local authorities, for instance, okay, you would have members who would serve on that. Is there a code of conduct or some regulation or book of ethics that would govern how they deal with how the ... local authorities would make decisions upon developments?
