Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

My memory is very clear. There was discussion around the content of Mr. Ruane's report and there was discussion around what needed to be done next. Mr. Dunne outlined the work he had been doing and continued to do since these matters were brought to his attention by Mr. Barrett. At the end of the meeting, a decision was taken that the deputy commissioner would write to me the following morning on foot of Mr. Ruane's advices, and that was actioned. The committee was set up straight away and its first meeting was, from memory, on 6 August.
