I appreciate that. There is a consistency in answering since these hearings began along the lines of "I was not in the post, it was not my responsibility and there are line managers". We are having huge difficulty getting to who knows what and who did what.

We are all time limited and I will return shortly to the phrase of "muddying of the waters". I asked the Commissioner earlier about the signatory to the account in Cabra. She said in later testimony to some of the other questions that, when she inquired of her colleagues, she found that this account had been closed in 2010. Was the account ever in the personal name, with the personal address, of a retired member of the Garda after he or she retired?
