I will rephrase the question. Does Mr. Purcell believe the detailed written statement which he prepared for today - his detailed rebuttal of the findings of the Guerin report which led to the resignation of a Minister for Justice and Equality - in defence of the Department's role in advance of a commission of investigation is consistent with his other arguments that he cannot comment on the matters to do with the resignation or retirement of the Garda Commissioner, or the correspondence issues he will not deal with, because he does not want to prejudice the Fennelly commission? How is it consistent to hold these two positions?
