I do not want to appear rude and I respect Mr. Meade's position and welcome him here today. However, the group that presented to this committee previously wanted the chief executives of the various organisations to be invited here. We welcome those who are in attendance but understand that some cannot be here. It is important that our engagements are with those who are at the highest level in the companies. I accept that Mr. Meade is at the highest level in terms of operations at Iarnród Éireann.
