By the way, in my view, I do not think this was the witness's idea. I could be wrong. The witness is telling me I am wrong. He is clearly giving a view in terms of disclosure of information that he came across in the discharge of his duties in the compilation of a report and in the manner in which that report is processed or not processed over a period of seven years. I do not accept his interpretation, but fair enough if the witness wants to put it on the record. In the email to Mr. Barrett, he went on to say that the report was quite sensitive. There is a typo there, by the way. It reads "quiet sensitive". I am terrible for typos. The witness wrote in the email that Mr. Culhane had said "that if you [Mr. Barrett] wish to meet to discuss this etc might be useful". What did Mr. Culhane wish Mr. Barrett to come and discuss with him? Was it the report or the keeping quiet of the report?
