Mr. Brian Purcell:

If a letter comes in from the Garda Commissioner, it would generally be about a particular issue. If a response had to go out or a particular consideration had to be made in respect of it, regardless of what it was, that would generally be done beforehand. Something would happen with it unless, of course, something was just sent in solely for information or did not require anything to be done. One would get instances where something did come in that was solely for information, but generally the type of correspondence one would get would require further action depending on the exact circumstances.
