I know that may be the interpretation of many members of the committee. I was at a meeting of the Council of Transport Ministers on the day the board took that decision. When it was taken, the chairman of CIE telephoned the office of Deputy Doherty, the Chairman of the Joint Committee on Public Enterprise and Transport, for an appointment. They met in the morning and later that day the chairman told the Department. On the following morning, Thursday morning, Deputy Doherty asked me to meet him, which I did. I think he reported back to the committee saying I would contact him after the weekend. That was a bank holiday weekend and I contacted him on the Tuesday. In the interim, I had spoken to the chairman of CIE and told him the feelings of the chair, which, I am sure, were representative of the committee and he reiterated to me that the decision had been taken by the board.
