My next question is for Mr. Connaghan. I was at the meeting in May. Then, I was missing for the 17 May meeting. I came back. We were in Africa with the Committee of Public Accounts, so we were not missing in action. Then, I saw Mr. Connaghan's response. I am on record as saying that I was shocked at Mr. Connaghan's response on the inconsistency between the HSE and the State Claims Agency. The agency wrote to us indicating that a scoping exercise was in being with a view to a commission of inquiry or whatever inquiry would be settled on. Mr. Connaghan, as the new person, decided not to attend that meeting. Is that right?
