I used the word "undisclosed" in the amendment because I was not there. I am sure Senator Walsh was not there either. I mean no disrespect when I say that. I am always reluctant to reach conclusions in the absence of the outcome of a court case or when the investigation is incomplete or unfinalised. I take Deputy Crowe's point about the posthumous prosecution. It is implied in the amendment that the associated activities in relation to the particular issue should be fully disclosed and examined and that a report should be provided. As I was not there, I do not know the full circumstances. My knowledge is based on what I have read and on what the European Parliament has said and discussed. As the Chairman and I know, in all situations we are entitled to have information made available to us from the highest possible authority on the other side. We got one side of the presentation. We are quite entitled to seek another side of the presentation as well.
