In the interests of protecting all of us, we had a private session and were given legal advice on naming people. This is not a court of law. As Deputy Billy Kelleher said, the Abbeylara judgment confines us in what we can and cannot do as a committee. I want to protect everybody involved in the hearings today and last week. That is why I am being careful about what members can and cannot do.
