Shane Ross: Sure, but CRC Medical Devices was a very important part of the troika of companies we are talking about, because it was such a confounded nuisance, as things turned out. It lost so much money.

Shane Ross: Mr. Conlan would know about this and should correct me if I am wrong. My understanding is that if one is a client of the CRC, it takes the client in and decides what sort of a wheelchair the client should have. Is that correct?

Shane Ross: Mr. Conlan should be, because this is very important. The CRC recommends who the wheelchair should be bought from. In many cases, it recommended that the particular wheelchairs should be bought from CRC Medical Devices. Is that not correct? Let me put it this way. Has Mr. Conlan heard of a company called Invacare?

Shane Ross: It is possibly one of the biggest wheelchair companies in the world. Is it correct that CRC Medical Devices had an agency for Invacare? Mr. Conlan knows that. The CRC was buying Invacare's products-----
