We are all talking about fundamental principles. The procedures of this committee are very important and have been set down for a long time. If we want to change them that is fine, but we must have a discussion and find out how to do it. We cannot change something because it does not suit us after the event. In hindsight, we should have had a discussion before we invited Sergeant McCabe to appear on whether the meeting should be in public session or private session. The question arises of whether Sergeant McCabe can come in and listen to his evidence.
