I will separate the two issues if I can to try to help the committee to make a decision. The issue raised by Deputy John Deasy was raised a number of times at the last meeting. It is important we keep the two separate. The issue raised by him is hugely important and we do not want it to appear as if we are allowing it to run into the other issue, or that we are implying anything by doing that. What I would suggest is that in the context of the report which we are finalising, this would be a very important part of it in terms of Deputy John Deasy and others making the point about advising Government or whatever action might be taken and exploring all of the comments made by Mr. Elderfield when he appeared before the committee. That report is due by the end of the month. Can we separate the two? Is that a reasonable way to deal with that?
