I accept that. GSOC then contacted its sister organisation in Britain, which it is perfectly entitled to do. I know that the Ombudsman in Ireland, whether that was Emily O’Reilly, or now, Peter Tyndall, co-operates with her or his European counterparts regularly. GSOC sought advice on a high-quality security consultancy, one of the best international standard, as I think Mr. FitzGerald said last night. The fact that GSOC sought an international, top-quality operation suggests that it had profound fears, not small or slight fears, but serious fears about the security threat. Is that a fair assessment?
