Deputy McDonald's point is a very good one. The point is that all the investigations have been carried out; what we want is a resolution. This has been checked by the Office of the Ombudsman and by civil servants. The matter must be brought into the political domain, and a recommendation from this committee must be made to Deputy Coveney and the Taoiseach's office that they do the right thing and that the Government of the 31st Dáil resolve this issue for once and for all. A new investigation would merely kick the matter to touch again when it has been debated to death. The force of a letter would be a major help.
