I wish to outline where I am going here. There seems to be a distance in relationships between the Secretary General, the Minister and the Commissioner, which regarding efficiency in the Department of Justice and Equality is not very professional. I think it is aloof. That leads on to my next question. Would Mr. Purcell describe his relationship with the former Minister for Justice and Equality as a close relationship or was there a coldness about the office?
