I thank the Chairman for calling me; may I put my name down for a third round?

We have seen so far that processes, procedures and systems are a riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma, in terms of who is responsible for what and who communicates with who. On certain issues when we are doing our business there are Chinese walls, on others there seem to be mountains separating one Department from the other. There are so many questions that we all have to skip from one issue to another.

Deputy Murphy touched on an issue. Mr. Ruane has given us a copy of his note from the meeting of 6 August 2015 at 11.15 a.m. After he was asked to refine that minute to whatever the practice had been before, an issue was mentioned in the note that we now have a copy of - and I think this is the point Deputy Murphy was trying to get at - which says that "M.C.", presumably Mr. Culhane, pointed out that, among other things, the Minister had received correspondence from a Deputy about this and the Minister for Justice and Equality had been provided with a report and was fully informed. That date is 6 August 2015. Was that in the refined minute, the one that was acceptable to Mr. Dunne?
