Mr. Noel Waters:

In a moment I will ask my colleague to address this, but just to be clear, the report was not the Department's report, it was from the Garda. The question, therefore, of the Department attempting to influence the publication or content of it simply would not have arisen. It was a matter for the Garda to complete the report and to turn it from a draft report into the final interim report. We would have had no role in terms of how long that would have taken.
