The specific matter of Mr. O'Brien's mind leads me to the next question. The GSOC is something of a triumvirate. Is the commission at one with regard to the sequence of events? Were the three commissioners at one in terms of calling in the UK firm as security? Where they at one in terms of their belief that something was awry? Did they all have suspicions?

I note that Mr. O'Brien stated in his contribution that a decision not to report was one that was made by him as chairman. Having regard to the importance of it, did Mr. O'Brien not believe that he should consult the other commissioners?
