Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

The Deputy has asked me two other questions which touch on something I would like to continue on. The Deputy asked me about my career and whether I was part of this. She wanted to know my mindset. I want to be crystal clear with the committee.

From the moment I took up as interim Commissioner and in that intervening period until November 2014 when I was appointed Commissioner, and indeed throughout my career, my focus, and the focus of the team that I have here, was always on identifying what needed to be fixed within the organisation. It was to root out and to shine a light and to turn over stones and to identify things and practices that were not up to standard, and that is what we did. We have suffered quite a lot from that - I will use that - because fingers have been pointed and we have been accused because we do shine a light on these things and bring them to the surface, and more than just bring them to the surface because we deal with them-----
