That is very clear. I thank Mr. Culhane for being prompt. This is very important. We now have a situation where the Commissioner said she acted promptly after being informed on 27 July, but we have Mr. Barrett giving conflicting evidence stating that there was a meeting of the steering group on 2 July. This group met for the first time not after 27 July, but on 2 July. Mr. Culhane agrees with Mr. Barrett's statement. Two members sitting across from me, the head of HR and people development and the head of finance, are saying that there was a steering group set up, which met on 2 July, and which was the steering group to deal with the issues in the Garda Training College in Templemore. I ask Mr. Barrett and Mr. Culhane if there is anything inaccurate in what I have just said. I will take that silence as a "no".
