I want Mr. Waters to stay in his own shoes. He is the Secretary General of the Department of Justice and Equality. He is therefore in charge. He carries statutory duties and obligations, as does the Commissioner. This is not a pick and mix situation, where one can decide to act or not act. The Commissioner had an obligation to inform Mr. Waters of these matters under section 41 of the legislation. Does he accept that there was such an obligation?
