This is a hypothetical question, but I think it is relevant. If Mr. O'Brien discovered, hypothetically, that one of his officials was dangerous - complicit in something terrible - and if he had a really serious personal concern with regard to the safety of the individuals that person was in charge of within his organisation, would he feel the same way he does today? Would he say that there was nothing he could do and that he would have to wait until the reports were published and the Garda investigation had concluded? Would he wait? Would he sit on it and say there was nothing he could do statutorily? If he found that somebody was at serious risk of doing something terrible, what would Mr. O'Brien do?
