Mr. Martin Callinan:

Of course I have to respect people's views. It is my job to look at all angles. All I can tell the Deputy is that when I was presented with these allegations they were taken extremely seriously by me, so much so that I appointed my senior investigator in An Garda Síochána, the assistant commissioner Mr. John O'Mahoney, who has tremendous experience in this area. He put together a very senior team to look at this issue and deal with it.
