As was the case with my engagement with everyone else, there was never an issue with the legal profession in terms of its trying to help feed information into the report and to give its perspective. Our role - my role and Senator Horkan's role - was to use our own judgment to decide where things lay. We were then able to draw data from some areas to try to remove some of the myths that exist or the accusations that were being levelled. It is helpful that the blame game has stopped and we should keep it stopped and just get the work done. It was not helping people. Senator Horkan himself would have seen how, after the committee would have had a hearing, the next day people would be on the radio or in the Sunday newspapers trying to get their point across. They have got their point across. It is being considered and we now have a programme of action.
