I agree that is why we need lobbyist legislation, and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform will introduce that in order to bring about transparency and accountability. I do not believe charitable organisations should pay personnel to lobby Ministers or anybody else if they operate on such a charitable basis. I do not have any information about that. The Government is very open to dealing with all organisations where it is appropriate and notes are taken in those meetings. I hope I have answered the Deputy's questions.
