That is very helpful. We have now gotten through the evidence of the two witnesses, and effectively they are saying that there was a meeting on 2 July. Let us be honest about it, there are certainly issues in respect of how the evidence given here previously relates to the witnesses' evidence. To be fair to the two witnesses, they agree that there was a 2 July meeting of a steering group set up to deal with the issues in Templemore. Despite this, the Garda Commissioner said she acted promptly when she was told, and set up the steering committee that met after 27 July. For the record, there is a direct contradiction in evidence. Furthermore, Mr. Ruane is now telling us that on 30 June he was given information by Mr. Barrett. Will Mr. Ruane repeat what he said?
