Mr. Kieran FitzGerald:

Without wishing to appear evasive, it would be quite unfair of us to address the Chairman’s question. The bottom line of that investigation is that had there been an offence or even disciplinary misconduct at a lower level by any member, senior or junior, we would have brought it to the appropriate authority at that time. As it was, we submitted a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, who directed no prosecution. There the matter rests.
