Ms Anne Barry:
I wanted to go back to one aspect of Mr. Dunne's evidence. He referred to a discussion with Mr. O'Callaghan, the assistant secretary over policing division, in respect of these matters during August 2015. I want to make to clear that our recollection is that both Mr. O'Callaghan and I had a discussion with Mr. Dunne on the fringes of a meeting in the Attorney General's office but it was on 1 October. It, therefore, remains our position that the fact that there were issues in respect of the arrangements in the college was brought to our attention on 1 September by Mr. Ruane who copied a request for legal advices to us. That is our recollection.
