No, I object. The Chairman opened the committee by saying that people would have to leave. First, I am sorry for elevating Senator Buttimer. That was an omission on my part and I correct the record any time I am wrong. We have checked the records and the words that were used. We have checked the blacks.

I had to leave this committee. I was asked by the clerk and the Chair of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Union Affairs, of which I am a member, to leave here and attend for a quorum. That happens all of the time.
