Welcome back, Mr. McEnery, Mr. Quinn and Ms Dunnion. It is quite unfortunate that we are here discussing conflicts of interest, which seem to take up an extraordinary amount of our time, not withstanding all the codes of governance and ethics. It is truly shocking the amount of time they have taken up. I am a little confused about an event - a meeting - and its purpose. If I am wrong, Mr. McEnery can correct me. He went to a meeting on an invitation through a phone call from Mr. Tadhg Daly. Is that correct?
