I have looked at the PowerPoint strategy. In a previous life I was a business manger in Bord Fáilte or Fáilte Ireland so I know a little bit about marketing and online space. To say the strategy is poor would be an understatement.

Before I conclude my round of questioning, I would like to ask Mr. Meaney a specific question. Obviously Mr. Meaney has had some engagement, significant or otherwise, with the industry given the situation we find ourselves in over the past number of weeks or months. He has had to deal with the industry. Let us call a spade a spade. He has probably had difficult conversations and different people in touch with him or vice versa. I presume the situation has not been easy because we are dealing with a very difficult situation. If any of what I have said is unfair or inaccurate then please say so.

I have permission to state the following name. Does Mr. Meaney know a Miss Clare Hanley?
