I welcome the representatives from NBI and thank them for appearing before the committee. For the purposes of full disclosure, I have met all of them previously through the other Oireachtas committee. I was also on one of the field trips. I found it was helpful to go and see the work being done. It helped me develop a better understanding of what NBI is doing. However, the job of the Committee of Public Accounts is to scrutinise the financial aspects of these deals.
How does NBI make a profit? I ask Mr. Hendrick to keep an eye on the time because it is precious.
