I take that point, but it appears there are two different things which could or might not be connected. We have clearly established that Mr. O'Brien believes there was a leak. Who has access to secret information within the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission and is giving it to people in the media? That is a very serious issue. On what initially led GSOC to enlist the security firm, it was in the context of a higher profile for the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission after he had made public comment that he was not receiving adequate co-operation from the Garda. That was one context. The other was that there seemed to be high level information in the public domain that he could not explain; presumably, it should have been information that was secure within the GSOC organisation. Given the context in which GSOC had initiated the security sweep, was the possibility of surveillance discovered, with the three anomalies which have not been explained fully, one way or another, but which could have malign or benign explanations? What is Mr. O'Brien's view on whether GSOC was under some form of external surveillance? Is he now of the opinion that GSOC was not under surveillance? Can GSOC be secure in view of the problem that there is an internal leak or has Mr. O'Brien concerns about external surveillance?
