This is a serious issue. A small number of people, approximately seven, had access to a secret report, yet that report has found its way into the hands of the media and the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission is investigating the matter. That is a serious revelation. Mr. O'Brien has also said that what prompted GSOC to do the security sweep and enlist the British security experts was that it had suspected it was under surveillance. In fact, he did not use the past tense in his statement or some of his earlier comments. He has said he suspects GSOC was under surveillance. Does he still believe that, apart from the leak which amounts to a very serious matter, GSOC was under surveillance? I am aware that he has said GSOC does not have definitive proof one way or another and does not have definitive evidence, but does he believe and suspect GSOC was under surveillance?
