Just to delve more deeply there, Mr. McGuinness said Peter Robinson and Sammy Wilson kept closely to themselves and that at that point there was no reason for him to believe there was any wrongdoing. But given his praise for Deputy Mick Wallace, and for what Mr. McGuinness has described today as Deputy Wallace's service, and that in his closing remarks he said that what goes to the heart of this is a key couple of issues, does he believe with hindsight that there was any wrongdoing and that there was contagion there as well that possibly could have spread? What was at an embryonic stage in the North could have affected the process that was happening here as well. Mr. McGuinness did say in his closing remarks that that goes to the very heart of the key questions that should be asked here today in terms of wrongdoing illustrated by Deputy Mick Wallace and a potential loss to the taxpayer in this State as well.
