Mr. Kieran FitzGerald:

As that was thoroughly rehashed the last time we were here, I will not go into too much detail. To summarise, if it is convenient for the Chairman, the difficulties we outlined concerned delays in getting information germane to the investigation from the Garda Síochána. Some of the delays ran to a considerable period of time and far too many of them, in our opinion, ran over what was in the original protocol agreement of an outer limit of 30 days to receive documents. Many of them ran much longer than this and some were considerably longer. That was the difficulty that was aired most before the committee.
