Ms Josephine Feehily:

In the context of our Ansbacher project, by the middle of 2003 we had established the case base we have. Our powers are probably more considerable than the authorised officer’s. The High Court inspectors commented in their report that our powers were more considerable than theirs. We identified cases that did not come to us from the authorised officer. We were on our own furrow, doing our own project. When we got information from him, we followed it up wherever it took us. That is all I really can say about what happened. He was helpful, his material was helpful and we followed it through.
