Ms Eileen Creedon:
I quoted that Act in my correspondence because of two specific provisions in it, section 3 and section 5. I appreciate that the committee is not in compellability mode at the moment and that I am here by invitation, but I am constrained. The purpose of section 3 allows the committee to direct certain evidence to be given and papers to be produced. It has a specific subsection - subsection 5 - and I am an officer of the Office of the Attorney General.
