Mr. Simon O'Brien:

We have never had any reason to inform a Minister of any other security concerns. I regret not informing him. I believe that if one gets something wrong, one should be open about it, apologise and see if things can move on. I am certainly not perfect. The one thing I would say is that if I have made a mistake, I will put my hands up and admit that mistake. Certainly, in this case I regret that we sit here today. I was only trying to do things in good faith and was very much trying to avoid the sort of public discourse in which we now find ourselves. Events have overtaken me. If anyone comes forward and wants us to assist them with an inquiry set up by this House, by elected Deputies or Ministers, we will assist that inquiry. We are at a place at the moment we very much hope to get past. We can do that and move on to the important work we need to get on with for the people in the future.
